Lacking the finesse of an old Victorian or
Edwardian game of the same ilk, it's probably laser-cut and
machine-manufactured, it was next-to-nothing in a charity shop a while ago, but
it missed the adding of such purchases to a Friday date-post and rather got
stuck in the limbo of Picasa's queue!
I've kept the six race horses and riders,
the three obstacles, the two dice and the pannel-pin with ball-finial, and I
managed to prise the central 'hedge' off, so may use it for photographing HO-OO
stuff one day, but the rest of the board and the box helped start a fire back
in March I think!
One of the figures was still in a little
bag, whether this means they were all individually wrapped, or if it was a
spare, I don't know, but you will have seen in the previous image, there's only
room for four to sensibly start a race at the same time?
Number stickers were factory applied and
all six horses are a slightly different colour, I don't know how likely that is to be
'meant' or how much is due to batch decoration, but suspect there should be
three silver/gunmetal and three antiqued/gold-finish?
