NOOKS AND CRANNIES|
Why are the markers in the game of Monopoly in the shapes of a racing car, a Scottie dog, a battleship, an iron, a top hat, and an old boot?
- I had a Monopoly set in the early / mid-1950s that had these playing pieces. The train (blue), tractor (yellow), galleon (gold), motor bike (white?), motor car (red), and the tank (khaki) were made of die cast metal. The hotels and houses were made of wood and were red and green respectively.
