#521 Fx Schmid – Pippi Langstrumpf Together With Pippi Langstrumpf Im Taka-Tuka-Land (Nr. 609 Twenty Together With 608 20) (1971)

I 1 time showed a deck of cards made past times Naipes Comas from Kingdom of Spain that had Pippi Longstocking equally the principal character/theme. That deck of menu was genuinely a reissue of an master copy High German deck of cards that I desire to present today.

There is no doubt, that Pippi is a fascinating grapheme for children all over the world. Even today, you lot tin give notice detect this if you lot view Astrid Lindgren´s World inwards Vimmerby, Sweden. There, the actress playing Pippi has to walk from 1 side to other (without stopping) non to go obstacled/surrounded/grabbed past times really modest children chasing her as well as shouting "Pippi, Pippi". This paradigm was really surprising to me, I institute it virtually scary.

No affair what, Pippi had a start existent activeness TV serial shot inwards 1969 that was translated to many languages as well as became really pop everywhere where it was shown. The principal grapheme was played past times Inger Nilsson. Some movies were made after as well as earlier the series, and, of course,there were many books written amongst her adventures. I guess this may vary from 1 province to another, but beingness Pippi a grapheme intended for rather modest children, the TV serial as well as movies convey had to a greater extent than success than the books.

This is an representative of merchandising as well as licensed items. In this instance it´s 2 decks of cards made inwards Deutschland (where Pippi was likewise extremely popular) that sold really good durign the 70s. Probably, two of the best selling decks past times FX Schmid.

The start deck is exactly Pippi Langstrumpf, as well as the side past times side 1 is Pippi Langstrumpf inwards Taka-Tuka-Land, where Pippi travels to a pirate isle and gets back a treasure stolen past times pirates. Both are based on the movies amongst the same names (1969 as well as 1970).

Both decks were reedited a few years later, as well as inwards the instance of Pippi as well as the Pirates, I ain 2 versions. They are genuinely the same except for the embrace card, that has a to a greater extent than modern (70s!) design, as well as the dorsum of the cards are printed inwards approximately other shade of blue. The colouring fabric of the pictures inwards the cards are likewise a fleck different, but this may likewise vary amidst decks inwards the same issue.

 And to complete this article, all cards from the minute develop summation "Facts as well as Figures"

#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.

#556 Fx Schmid - Wunder Der Technik (Around 1955)

This deck of cards was manufactured past times Schmid (today FX Schmid) inwards the 50s, mayhap 1955, although it is quite hard to laissez passer on an exact year...

Similarly to the deck past times JSJW shown inwards a previous entry, the box simulates a small-scale majority amongst leather covers, although it is made of cardboard. I bought both decks from the same seller, in addition to thus I guess that both are convey approximately the same age. It belongs to the serial "Quartett Bibliothek der Unterhaltung und das Wissen" (Quartett-Library of Entertainment in addition to Knowledge).

The quartet has nine families, each of them represents 1 category inwards the “wonders of technology” or “wonders of engineering”, like: roads, canals, bridges, trains, high buildings, shipbuilding or telecommunications.

 

 

I honey the subject of the deck in addition to the pictures are great. Despite beingness in addition to thus old, the deck is nevertheless quite modern, inwards close categories, the plant shown are nevertheless considered really advanced lx years later… the exclusively category inwards which the “wonders” convey been clearly exceeded are mayhap telecommunications.

#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.
