MALMBERG R1 - SPEELGOED
(R1 - Toys)

-1-

In 1953 a series of 6 quartet games was published by L.C.G. Malmberg from 's Hertogenbosch as "Kwartetspelen Wij doen het zelf". The decks were printed by SN in book print with one supporting colour, red or yellow. Each deck holds 32 cards, that measure 58 x 89 mm., and a blank card. The designs are by Z. Alfons.

       GENERAL MALMBERG QUARTETS INFO

The front and the back of all the Malmberg quartets look the same. The front has the company logo with the initials L.C.G.M. and the name of the series. The backside of the box gives the general rules for a quartet game. On the sides the names of the publisher and the designer are printed.

The decks were numbered R1 - R6 and each deck has a specific topic, that is also mentioned at the bottom of the box. The top flap of the box says "open here" and mentions the name of the publisher again. The "R" is probably short for "rekenen" (arithmetic's).
Each deck has 8 quartets. The cards show a small design, accompanied by its (dutch) name and a simple arithmetical exercise. The decks were probably made for children from 7 - 10 and were possibly used as a means to support arithmetic lessons at school.
