“Cash for rares”
Confession from Horst Lichter: He doesn’t know this Kästner classic

This old board game found a buyer at “Bares für Rares”.

With “Cash for Rares” this special find brings in money: a matching board game came onto the market for the first film adaptation of Erich Kästner’s classic “Emil and the Detectives”.

Horst Lichter has to appear in the current episode “Cash for Rares” makes a confession: The moderator doesn’t know “Emil and the Detectives”. Erich Kästner’s children’s book has been filmed three times and is considered a classic. “Never read, never seen,” Lichter has to admit and lets himself be inspired by it Expert Sven Deutschmanek first explains the plot. In the novel from 1929, little Emil has money stolen on the way to Berlin. Together with a gang of children, the boy ends up hunting down the thief – and collects a big reward.

The book was first made into a film by Ufa in 1931. The highlight: Back then, merchandise for the film was released, such as a matching board game. And Silke Stein from Weinstadt brought one of these with her for sale. The police officer got the game from her husband, who in turn got it from his father. It hasn’t been played with for a long time. “We never got around to it,” says Stein.

“Cash for Rares” expert appreciates the pewter figures

Sven Deutschmanek explains that the game comes from the Josef Scholz publishing house in Mainz, and the illustrations are by Beatrice Braun Fock. The game itself comes with a box and instructions and is structured similarly to Mühle. Analogous to the film, a gang of children has to catch a thief. Particularly beautiful: the tin figures are colored by hand. Silke Stein would like 120 to 150 euros for it.

But the expert sees a problem: “Gustav with the horn no longer has a foothold,” he notes about the figure. The owner’s desired amount is still realistic. “It’s a beautiful pre-war game, it’s definitely worth 150 to 200 euros,” is his final verdict.

And indeed: in the dealer room, a dealer Esther Ollick is happy. “So far I have had good sales of every game,” she is certain. Silke Stein gets 150 euros for her father-in-law’s old game.
