Early Century Wooden Game Box - German

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Good
Description

This game box was owned by my grandparents. The hand writing that is visible on the 'chalkboards' is my father's. He would have used this in the 40s. My grandfather was stationed in Munich and my father was born there. Though this game box is German, my grandparents could have purchased it anywhere. Both my grandmother and grandfather collected items throughout the years. They spent time in Europe, Great Britain and Asia. And they also owned a fair amount of antiques that had been passed down through my family. I have no idea of the significance of this box or if it is collectible.

You can view a gallery of pictures of the game box here:

Through the power of google, I was able to track down a time-frame of the playing cards (I believe). The playing cards are stamped with a tax office number from the late 1800s and later. See that information here:

http://www.endebrock.de/stamps/st-d1.html

Now, I can't say that the cards are original to the game box or if there are any parts/pieces missing from the game box. Regardless, here are the specifics:

Dimensions of the game box: 14.25" x 11.25" x 8"

Game Box Contents:

  • 4 graphite pencils
  • 4 double-sided chalkboards (these are flexible, like paperboard/cardboard)
  • Checkerboard (hinged, 11.125" x 11.5")
  • 4 game piece wooden boxes (3" x 2.25" x 1.5")
  • 15 (each, black and white) wooden checkers
  • 28 dominoes
  • 35 (plus 1 cover card) playing cards, stamped
    • Deutsches Reich - Dreissig PF. No 51
    • Adolf Hasenauer in Munchen
  • 36 playing cards, stamped
    • Spiel Karten-Fabrik von C.L. Wust in Frankfurt a/M
    • Deutshces Reich - Dreissig PF. No 51
    • Frankfurt a/M, C.L. Wust

The only markings anywhere on the box or the contained items is on the playing cards.

If by chance you are browsing this and can offer better insight, I would love to hear your thoughts. If you have any questions, please ask. I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks!

Ediphone

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Fair
Description

It is not complete, does not have the microphone piece.  It does have the cylinders with the papers inside, 8 total.  The front opens and hinges are in good condition, the top is a little bent but closes. 

What I have found, it looks like circa 1940's, some light rust in different spots but they are small.

Antique Crotch Mahogany Credenza Secretary Buffet Server Cabinet. This piece is a RARE FIND because of its size, age and beauty and dates back to the earlier part of the 1900s and is Circa 1930 and was made American made by Ebert Furniture Co who prior to 1950 made some of the HIGHEST quality case goods the market had to offer. It has 3 drawers which are all doweled and dovetailed together with brass pull handles that have a floral pattern etched into the brass itself. The center drawer has a drop down desk. Each side is nicely curved with open shelving and double mirrored doors at the bottom with nice designer etching that are etched into the glass.
