Vintage Totopoly Great Race Game with Backgammon Set
Lot offered is a vintage Totopoly Great Race Game, presented alongside a backgammon set. The game is housed in its original box, with the title The Great Race Game and the Totopoly name shown prominently across the lid. The lid artwork depicts a racing scene with three horses and jockeys on a grass track, with a stand of spectators and trees in the background.
The box is marked as manufactured by John Waddington Ltd, London and Leeds, and the lid states that Totopoly is by the manufacturers of Monopoly. The backgammon set is a folding board with black and gold triangular points and a hinged lid. Within the board are a booklet, a small pair of dice, a doubling cube marked with the numbers 2 to 64 and stacks of white and red counters. The set reflects the mid-century style of game production, combining a racing theme with a classic two-player board.
Condition and Collector Interest
The lid artwork is bright and the printed text is clearly legible. Please note that this lot is offered as seen, and the completeness of the Totopoly game pieces and the contents of the backgammon set are not guaranteed. Buyers should inspect the photographs and enquire before bidding if they require further detail.
Vintage board games of this kind appeal to collectors of mid-century leisure items, particularly those interested in Monopoly-related productions and horse racing themes. The combination of a racing game and a backgammon set in one lot may also suit those seeking display pieces or nostalgic games for family use.
