#542 Jsjw - Großstädte Der Welt (Around 1953)

I honey this deck of cards in addition to the pictures of the world´s most of import cities, equally they were inward the 50s. The pictures present interesting views of the cities, similar the Big Ben in addition to the Houses of Parliament inward London, or the The Holy See inward Rome (not real accurate, only nosotros larn the point...).

Especially interesting are the oriental cities, which convey today millions of habitants in addition to their downtowns convey hundreds of skyscrapers. My favorite cards are Singapore in addition to Hong Kong. In the 50s it was different. Also interesting are pictures from cities whose most of import monument was non built yet, like, for example, Sidney.

The quartett game is made yesteryear Josef Schneider Jr. from Vienna roughly 1953, in addition to it is thus ane of the oldest quartetts I have. The markings on the box are: J.S.J. W.

Unfortunately at that spot is real Little data I could honor virtually this human in addition to his factory, except that it was founded inward 1928, so vanished in addition to so re-started inward 1946 afterward WW2, remaining a few years to a greater extent than amongst their production. It is interesting to mention, that Vienna those days was divided inward 4 sections, controlled yesteryear unusual powers, in addition to inward full general they were real hard times for the people living there. The access to materials for fabrication of anything was real difficult, in addition to the way to construct them were likewise obsolete, so most Austrian games from these years are non real qualitative.

The cards are non real accurately cutted, complaint the bill of fare on the right.

JSJW was basically a bill of fare manufacturer, although they likewise produced several educative in addition to strategic board games.

The cards dorsum so were unremarkably a flake bigger than usual, in addition to the box is likewise quite big. It represents a book, amongst encompass in addition to spine in addition to a prissy appearance of leather.

#619 Star - Technik-Quartett - Slowly Passenger (Nr. 3246) (Around 1983)

There are a few quartetts with the advert "Easy Rider" past times dissimilar manufacturers, too this 1 is alongside the rarest ones. I convey establish only 1 reference of "Star", the menu manufacturer, but this reference does non include whatever relevant data nearly the beginning of this brand.

It seems to travel a rare deck, too Star a really small-scale manufacturer, or possibly a "white brand" for about other larger Company. I intend it is genuinely the second: this deck was in all probability made past times Piatnik from Vienna, because it is almost identical to the homonimous Piatnik deck, reference 4222 from 1977. Only 8 cards are different. Earlier versions of this Piatnik deck convey to a greater extent than differences, then my approximate is that the Star quartett must travel slightly newer than the Piatnik 4222.

Sorry that I cannot nation anything else nearly this deck, if y'all know something nearly it, delight don´t hesitate to larn out a comment to this entry. Thanks.

#677 Piatnik - 200 Km/H Gild (Nr. 4220) (1973 As Well As 1981)

These are 2 sets made past times Piatnik alongside the same advert as well as reference. The older i seems to live on from to a greater extent than or less 1973 as well as the to a greater extent than modern i from 1981. Each year, Piatnik (and other manufacturers) changed each yr a few cards to proceed the deck modern. There are 24 dissimilar cards from i railroad train to the other as well as 8 years betwixt them, that makes an average of four cards/year.

In this case, the topic is "200 Km/h", that is a mixture of race cars, rally cars as well as too commercial models mixed upward together, all of them reaching to a greater extent than than 200 kilometers per hour. The "landscape" format used past times Piatnik allows larger photos.

#726 Piatnik – Heinzelmännchen (Nr.4052) (1976)

This laid upwards of cards is based on the industrial plant of Will Huygen together with Rien Poortliet, who inwards the 70s created together with released several books nearly these creatures from the forest. Although originally from Holland, those books where presently translated to other languages, thus at to the lowest degree inwards Europe they are to a greater extent than or less good known.

In Spain, however, I cannot think those books, only anyone over xxx years volition inmediatly recognise these characters from the TV cartoon serial “David, el Gnomo”. This cartoon was a coproduction betwixt Kingdom of Spain together with Nihon together with was cordinated past times BRB International, a fellowship that during the 80s created many unforgettable cartoons. This ane is ane of the most mythical ones.

The serial was aired for the outset fourth dimension inwards 1985 together with 1986, only thus has been repeated several times during the adjacent twenty years. Of course, afterward the non bad success of the cartoons, many books were published, thus I gauge at to a greater extent than or less indicate the master copy books from the Dutch creators were also available inwards Spain.

The deck of cards has 8 families (32 cards) addition ane embrace carte du jour together with came inwards a so-called “soap-box”. The copyright is from 1976, although the copyright together with the yr of industry are most of the times 2 unlike things.

Each describe solid unit of measurement is devoted to ane seem of the life of the Heinzelmännchen: which types are there, how create they await depending on their age, what create they create for a living, who are their enemies, what create they create during a normal day, what things create they convey at home, which animals are their friends together with other customs they have.

Needless to tell that the illustrations are beautiful, together with that I tin post away imagine that these books caught the attending of kids at the time. The gnomes, kabauter, Heinzelmännchen or gnomos convey today a for certain “cult” condition inwards most European countries. I am aware of many toys (for event PVC figures) based on these characters, only unfortunately, I create non convey any.

#770 Unknown Manufacturer - Unidentified Dichter Quartet (Around 1955)

MONTH OF THE UNKNOWN

I convey a few interesting toys that I convey been collecting over the years from which I know null at all. They cannot last identified since they convey no industry marking.

After as well as hence many years writing this blog, I intend I don´t convey to tell I honey all bill of fare decks. I establish this for really piddling coin as well as I intend it was a swell buy.

 

 

The deck is a classic quartet game amongst no indications at all, although it is 99% certain made inwards Republic of Austria (there are many Austrian authors in) as well as too from the mid to belatedly 50s (for the means of the box, the colouring as well as the cutting of the cards.

 

 

 

 

It seems to last a depression lineament product, typical from the post-war times. I would tell it has never been played, since the cars nonetheless convey dainty edges.
