EXTREMELY RARE GAME OF ALADDIN BY SINGER. Ca. 1890. Possibly the only example known, this fantastical game features a brightly lithographed cover depicting Aladdin descending into the crypt with some trepidation. He is flanked by rocks with nightmarish human faces intimating certain doom. The game board itself is equally impressive, featuring a frightful trail with danger at every turn, highlighted by ghouls, gargoyles, and other pitfalls. A truly outstanding example of early parlor entertainment. SIZE: Box measures 18″ l. x 9-1/4″ w. CONDITION: Some taping to side flaps on box, and minor edge wear. Overall near excellent, even retaining all known game pieces and original directions. 1-5246 MC (3,750-4,750) Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Fall 2005 Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.
