    This board game is rather unique. It is a monopoly type game but designed for a little place called Pemberton, NJ. It was made by a company in Hershey, Pa which I haven't found a record of. It was a fund raiser thing for the local volunteer fire department. The game was never played with nor were the little cards ever taken off the master sheets. I wonder if there are collector clubs/sites for such things and/or anyone who could provide information regarding the company or games.

      PS: This is not an antique I was wondering about it being collectible.

      My two cents worth says it's collectible..... [;>)

      Thanks for the input and loves. Perhaps someone else here will jump in also. This game is dated November 1991 so I assume they were in hopes to sell them at the holiday season. Pemberton is a very small place outside Fort Dix, NJ.

      I have been looking and researching and in the course of that I have a guy begging for the game. He wouldn't say why and made me a heck of an offer but I think I will just sit on it. I have a 9 year old grandson who is collecting and has his own display. I have his great grandfathers 1930's Braxmar badge from the fire department that sold this game so perhaps we will keep it together.

      zimque Thanks for the link. I will print that out and enclose it when I send the game to my grandson. Perhaps one day it will help him out if he decides to sell his collections.
