Set of Darrow Black Box 1935 Style Reproduction Monopoly Scrip Play Money

Description: Celebrating the 1935 Charles Darrow "Black Box" Monopoly games, this auction is for 1 Set of Darrow White Box 1935 Style Reproduction Monopoly Scrip Play Money made by The Folkopoly Press. As actual early Monopoly items become older and older, more scarce and valuable, they take on the status of "holy relics" that you probably should treat with kid gloves. Naturally, some of the experience of using them to actually play Monopoly is thereby lost. Also lost, over the years, is what I call the "shock of the new." Long gone is the experience of opening up one of these classic game sets and using it for the first time. That's part of what I hope to bring back with these reproduction sets. I want anyone who gets one of these to have the same sort of elation that buyers had in 1935, when this was all a brand new thing. I also thought it would be nice to add something new to the set, while at the same time staying true to the original design. Therefore, I added a $2 bill, in the same Darrow Type 2 style as the others. Blue was an obvious color choice, since it wasn't used for the other denominations. Since the original DBB sets only came with $9000 in play money, barely enough for a game with six players, this reproduction set comes with a bit more, to make actually playing Monopoly with it a bit more practical. Scrip money as follows: 60x $1 30x $2 50x $5 60x $10 30x $20 30x $50 30x $100 10x $500 A total of $11,070 (300 bills in all). This means even if there are 6 players, there is still $2,070 remaining in the bank. We are not going to be making very many of these sets, since they are made by hand, and a lot of work is involved.
