Vintage Puzzle

 

I don't usually buy old puzzles as they can smell musty and are always missing a piece... But this was in fine condition and was bundled up with a note claiming it had ALL the pieces and it smelled fresh and new!

Don't you love the picture? It looks like it would be a scene from a Nancy Drew book. I am guessing the puzzle is from the 50's from the look of the lady's hairstyle.

Here are all the pieces just waiting to be put together!!

 

I don't know how well you can see, but its a jigsaw puzzle and a lot of pieces are not interlocking, they simply rest together. Makes it a little more difficult, but the perfect thing to do inside when its cold and wintery out, the summery scene is also nice to think about.

Get a REAL Clue!

While traveling we usually stop at antique stores, they have a magnetic-like pull for us. Even if we are in an unknown town, we usually stumble across a place that we cannot resist poking around in. On the last trip we "found a real find" as we like to say. We love to play games of all kinds and collect vintage versions of our favorites.
I am not sure if this is the first copyright of the game of Clue, but I have never seen one from 1949 before.

Love the artwork and it's in fabulous condition! I am assuming this was hardly played with at all, the pieces are still there and nothing is crumpled, bent or torn. The one thing I miss is the Prof's pipe, this version he is tobacco free.

   

...And it was obviously the Dining Room and the candlestick.....The pieces are wooden- just love that feature! Also the weapons are larger than the modern versions and we believe the lead pipe is made from real lead-sorry children no chewing.

 

We always fought over who got to be Miss Scarlett, love the 1940's hairstyle she has in this version. I always pictured Miss Scarlett in the lounge enjoying her red carpet, or looking for her lost necklace in the ballroom.

In my excitement of playing with our "new" game, I made several suggestions when I had all the cards.....no wonder I didn't win.

Now you have to give me three clues, what edition of Clue do you have, who is your favorite character and what is your favorite room?
