The paperwork or box should have a date on it somewhere. I remember playing it in the late 50's or early 60's.
I didn't notice before but this is the US Service edition so it isn't at all rare. Millions of these were made for the Navy, Marines and Coast Guard to have on board ship.

One closed on eBay today that didn't sell. It was listed for $3.97. They aren't popular right now but things tend to turn around eventually. Never be valuable but will be worth a bit more down the road.
