He's not tailless, he has three!

This beautiful vintage game is in surprisingly good condition for its age, although the edges of the box are damaged as you can see. There is scope for careful repair, but one whole edge of the top is missing. The actual top surface is in excellent condition and wood frame beautifully, and the base of the box just needs straightening if you wish to reconstruct the box completely.

There are three tails, two in excellent condition, one with a crease as shown.

The donkey poster is also in excellent condition with no tears or losses except for very many tiny pinpricks all over – apparently some people think a donkey's tail goes on its nose! Strangely, the holes don't really show if you like it flat or put it on a wall, so it would also frame nicely if desired, but it is quite large. The printing is high-quality glossy and attractive as is the very cute donkey.

A nice addition to a vintage or antique toys and games collection

Glevum Games was founded by the Roberts brothers of Gloucester in 1894 and was a global leader in its day, producing a vast range of traditional, board and parlour games. As with so many companies, two major wars did not help and it was taken over by Chad Valley in 1954

Will be packed carefully to avoid further damage.
