- Way back when I was working as an anthropologist, I was sent to visit a children’s museum. At the gift shop, they had massive amounts of Monopoly tokens for sale. The battleship had always been my favorite. So I bought a small fleet.
- This small head is barely visible, and you really have to look for it.
- Once again this whimsy is not too obvious.

I don’t remember a battleship being part of the monopoly tokens. In my childhood set they were carved wood. My favorite was the tall blonde one. Did this predate the set from the nineteen fifties?
I don’t remember wooden ones. They were all cast pieces when I was growing up.
That head is amazing!!!
It’s barely visible from the street, so it’s a surprise when you come upon it.
Beautiful images. Love the fleet of M battleships. Good buy!
Usually, I have them deployed on a shelf with my other small favorites.
