Described as the "Harlequin of Games" by the manufacturer this is certainly a colourful game.  The box has a parrot illustration on the lid.  Although the box remains strong it does have two small splits, to one corner and a side and some rubbing on the corners but this gives it that authentic vintage look.  The contents are complete and in perfect order, in fact, they are so good it is hard to imagine if this was ever played with.  The cards are vibrantly coloured and depict items connected with a shop e.g. cash register, delivery van and sales assistant.  The instruction booklet is also included.  A wonderful item for a vintage toy collector, someone interested in retail or as a decorative object.
