That's impressive! But where's the backstory? Is this in your possession? And if so, how did that happen? Curious people want to know....
i purchased it from a gentleman who bought a bunch of sell out stock from an elderly man going out of business, it is in my possession still
Thanks for the reply, terryleon. So - any hint of the result of the patent search? "Battleship" ranks quite high on my personal list of 'best all-time board games'. If this represents some of the actual origins, I am surely not alone in wishing the collecrtion to be properly archived.
