The bills have the proper Copyright date of 1935 on all the bills and they are all in very good condition with no problems to note at all. There are extra of some bills and slight less on some. Box shows light shelf wear on the box edge but is in very good condition overall with no tears or repairs at all. The box also has the more scarce "Reg. Great Britain & Canada" on the front along with the U.S. patents on the front of the box. This is more difficult to find as well as in this great condition. The board is also included and is also in very good condition especially when compared to others being offer on Ebay. Only some bumping on the corners, very little fading and some minor cracking on the inside spine. The board also has the "Copyright 1933, Chas. B. Darrow" on the Jail square which was later dropped from the game board. This game has all the right dates and is in unusually good condition considering the age. No odors and no taping or tears on anything. Please see the pictures for details as part of the description Thanks for looking and good luck on the auction. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
