Condition (used): generally poor/fair for age in poor box (see below) - we are uncertain as to the completeness of this set although it is definitely not complete, that said there does seem to be an extra fish pond  - this set includes the following elements: 7 card fish; 6 wooden rods; 1 magnetic hook; 7 metal rings; 2 collapsible folding card fishponds with cloth hinges; the instructions are in the lid - the box is very worn with some heavy corner / edge wear and general heavy marks / grubbiness / wear / discolouration including extensive damage, three of the rods are missing their brass end pieces and none have string or hooks attached, there is only one piece of string and only one hook, there is some fairly minor surface corrosion to the metal rings one of which is detached from the fish, some fairly minor damage to most fish (see photos), one of the ponds is good but the other has some damage to one side, otherwise fairly minor marks commensurate with age and use.

Identifying marks or labels etc:  "JW&S Bavaria".

Other information:   very rare old game from Spears Games from well before they were forced from Germany to relocate in Britain, we are not entirely sure of the exact age but would suggest circa 1890s to 1910s - may be of some interest to a collector.

Approximate dimensions:   box: 29.5cm (length) 29.5cm (width) 2cm (height).

Approximate weight:  420g.

Price: £50.
