Hello vintage lovers!! Ran by goodwill today to kill sometime before a lunch date with a friend and found this gem. Usually when I just run in goodwill for a few min. I end up finding some cool things. It's like if I go in there and have a lot of time I find nothing. As stated before I am being very selective when it comes to my purchases now but when I seen this I knew it was coming home with me. I have a thing for vintage toys memorabilia I can't help it 🤷♀️
This is the 1949 version of the cootie game, I think this is the first version that was made. I only paid $2 for it and the only thing it is missing is the dice and 1 antenae. Not bad for a game that is ummmm 71 years old 😮 The box has seen better days, I had to tape the corners but the graphics are pretty good. The play pieces are in great shape too, they are not broken and the colors are vibrant. All in all this game is in great condition for it's age. It just shows how well made items were, now a days you buy something and within 6 months or less you are throwing it away cause it has broken.
Not sure how I am going to display it yet but all I know is I'm happy to have found it. This is the type of stuff that makes me love the hunt and makes me want to go out to the thrift stores/yard sales every week. I mean who would have ever thought I would find a 70 year old game at the goodwill??
