description

 

A late 1960s or early 1970s vintage "Canada Dry Mixer Game" ("The Ideal Bar Game"), produced to promote the popular brand of ginger ale, with its original card sleeve which depicts the game with the slogan "Emigrate to Canada Dry".  The game itself, which measures approximately 28 x 19.5 x 3.7cm (11 x 7.7 x 1.45in) including feet but excluding the moulded logos to three sides, is made of black plastic with red sliding tiles covering numbers and mixer names, green felt playing surface and instruction card attached (warning that the game is "not to be played for gain"); the base is moulded with the words "(C) 1967 / REGD. DESIGN / PATENTS PENDING / MADE IN ENGLAND".  Included with the game is a pair of dice, which are probably original, being very much discoloured with age and having light surface wear together with the odd tiny nibble.  There is some age wear to the sleeve including wear and bumping to edges and corners, creasing, discoloration and slight marking; the game itself has some scratching, scuffing and abrasion to the surface, some wear to the gold raised lettering / logos, and slight discoloration and marking to the instruction card and the felt, but remains in good order overall and perfectly playable.
