1950 Emile Littler’s Show Business Game by Chad Valley, Harborne

Description

Here’s a very rare Mid-Century game, made in England by Chad Valley.  Show Business was designed by Emile Littler a famous theatrical impresario of the period.  A copy of this rare game (given by the estate of Sir Emile Littler) is on display at the Victoria & Albert museum in London (link).  All game components appear to be present as shown.  The rotating disk on the board still moves freely.  The box has the usual scuffs around the edges and some age related bowing.  One of the corners of the box lid has been strengthened with card on its internal surface.  Game instructions are printed on a label attached inside the box.  Overall, a nice complete example of a scarce game which rarely appears on the market.
