BRER FOX AN` BRER RABBIT.  A precursor to Monopoly. "A New and Fascinating Game for old and young alike". Printed and Published by the Newbie Games Co. (Annan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland). Orig. square box with pictorial label (depicting Mr Fox as Lloyd George) containing fldg. heavy paper playing board, instruction leaflet, 2 dice, 4 playing pieces & the relevant currency, property & play cards. Based on the 1904 US "Landlords Game"  (patented by Lizzie Magie, a follower of the political economist Henry George) this game was first introduced to the UK when produced in 1913 by the local Liberal party committee (thus the use of Lord George as the reforming fox!), under its new name but manifestly being the same game.  Various successors to the Landlords Game led to the first publication of Monopoly.  Brer Fox an` Brer Rabbit apparently was sold for a nominal one shilling and was obtainable from Miss Clarke, Newbie, Annan.
