1953 Selchow and Righter Scrabble Game. Box measures 14 1/2" by 7 1/2". Very good condition. Instructions are printed on the inside box cover. Box is in used condition.
This 1953 edition of Scrabble is a classic piece of board game history from the era when Selchow & Righter first took over production and marketing. This specific version is highly notable for introducing the first major revision to the North American "box rules," which clarified parallel word play and established the penalty for unsuccessful challenges. The game comes in its original burgundy textured box, measuring 14 1/2" by 7 1/2", with the official instructions conveniently printed directly on the inside of the box cover.
The set features the traditional mid-century aesthetic, including the iconic folding game board and 100 high-quality wooden letter tiles. While the internal components remain in very good condition, the outer box shows honest signs of age-appropriate used condition. This set is a perfect find for collectors of vintage Americana or for families looking to introduce a piece of gaming history to their next game night.
This item is vintage, over 70 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
