This week I left a lot behind and came home with one special item, this vintage scrabble board. I was saving my funds for the flea market, but car troubles kept me from checking it out. I'm not fretting, vintage will be waiting for me next time. (And staying warm indoors and getting caught up on writing wasn't so bad, either!) Besides, this one find had enough charm and detail to tide me over until the next thrift visit. Like my vintage Risk board this game board is fully of whimsy and would look beautiful hung on the wall in an parlor or game room. By my count there are 56 (!) beautiful color illustrations on the game board. Just goes to show you how Old Junk is just made better, can you pick something out of a department store right now with so many hand painted details these days?

The box has seen better days but the board itself is pristine, it's shiny and brand new like it's never been used. As much as I love this, I am selling it. Just drop me a line if you're interested!
