Description
This collection features a variety of games, construction toys, and novelty items from different eras. Key components include a MAD Museum (Mechanical Art & Design Museum) Marble Machine #2 (Motorised) kit, which utilises laser-cut MDF, carbon fibre uprights, and 7mm steel balls. Also included is The Sudoku Game by Winning Moves, designed for 1 to 4 players and containing 100 puzzles. The vintage portion of the lot features a Tinkertoy The Wonder Builder set in its original cardboard tube and a folding wooden chess box that serves as the game board. Additional items include a boxed set of Whissmith Chessmen De Luxe Quality, Piatnik Tartan playing cards, a novelty Discovery Play A4 Playing Cards set, and a Top Trumps Ultimate Military Jets deck. A dark wood box with inlaid metal card suit motifs and an assortment of small figures, including a clown doll and a teddy bear, complete the group.
Condition report:
Items range in condition from good modern retail packaging to vintage examples with significant wear. The Tinkertoy cylindrical tube shows heavy patination and structural softening. The folding wooden chess box displays surface scuffs and minor finish loss. The Marble Machine kit appears largely unassembled in its original box, though completeness and mechanical function have not been tested. The novelty playing cards and modern board games show typical shelf wear to their outer packaging. All items are sold as seen.
