The Trademark Number is not printed though the patent has now been granted and number (453689) is printed on money, game board and box. In these editions, the playing pieces are made of card which slot into a wooden base presumably due to war shortage of metal. The money is printed in colour ink on white paper. Other editions of this era used colour paper with black ink.
