Historical Context

William Fuld boards produced by Parker Brothers in the 1970s remain some of the most desirable post-war examples. After Parker Brothers acquired rights in 1966, they retained Fuld’s branding through the early 1990s. Boards from this transitional period — particularly those manufactured in Salem, MA before production moved to other facilities — are considered collectible and authentic representations of mid-century occult and pop culture history.

Collector Appeal

Collectors value these for their:

• Nostalgic and pop-cultural association with the 1970s occult revival
• Design continuity with earlier William Fuld boards
• Solid construction quality pre-dating modern cardboard versions
• Original box and planchette included — rare in complete form

Estimated Market Value (as of 2025)

• Fair Market Value: $75 – $125 USD
• Retail (Dealer) Value: $125 – $165 USD
• With pristine box and provenance: $165 – $200+

Prices may increase slightly based on completeness, display quality, and buyer interest in retro paranormal collectibles.

Recommendations

If you plan to sell:

• List it on eBay, Etsy, or a vintage games collector forum
• Highlight “William Fuld,” “Parker Brothers Salem MA,” and “No. 600” in the title
• Include high-resolution photos of the front, back, box, and planchette

If you're unsure of exact dating or if the box/planchette differs from standard editions, a professional appraisal through a certified vintage toy expert or a site like WorthPoint may be worthwhile for insurance or sale purposes.
