This week our “Pick” is another treasure from a far off country. It is a beautiful hand painted Japanese Satsuma Ginger Jar. This lovely earthenware vessel is adorned with resting figures, Japanese text and gilding. While it is not antique it is a very attractive piece and shows the great skill of the artist who created it.
This week we have another interesting board game as our “Pick of the Week”. Presenting Risiko! or the Italian version of Risk. The Italian version has many differences when compared to it’s American counterpart. The board and artwork are diferent and the pieces are little tanks. I can only assume that the game play is similar to the American version as the instructions are in Italian. This game has never been played and is in great condition.
TV’s Dollar a Second, the home game. This weeks “Pick” is the hard to find Dollar a Second game, based on the Jan Murray game show from the 1950’s. In this game the players preform wacky stunts for money and pay penalties for failure. The game has many parts and the instructions but I am unsure if it is complete there is no parts list in the instruction book. I am sure that it is close to complete. Also the game would have been produced between 1954-1956. Stop in soon to see this and some of our other fun collectable games
