1930s Games Including Early Versions of Chinese Checkers

Item Details

A collection of 1930s-era games, including two early American versions of Chinese checkers.

This collection includes a wooden Pressman Hop Ching board with red decoration, as well as a Berry Pink Chinko Checko Marblo game in the original box with marbles. This collection also includes playing cards in a case and a 1933 booklet of Selected Patience Games (i.e., solitaire games).
