Produced by Scholz in Germany (Nr. 5776), this early-to-mid 20th-century parlor card game titled Heitere Druckfehler! ("Humorous Typos!") features a color-illustrated lid depicting a red devil pointing at newspaper misprints. Constructed of printed cardboard and paper, the set includes a three-part compartmentalized box housing card decks numbered with Roman numerals I, II, and III, an original instruction sheet (Spielregel), and printed sentence strip cards. A retailer stamp on the base interior identifies "B.A. Müller, Dresden-A., Prager Straße 32." Light, honest wear appears throughout, consistent with age and gentle play, including edge scuffing, minor corner splits to the box lid, and light age toning to paper components. Printed graphics, instruction leaf, and cards structure remain complete and well-preserved. The boxes structure is complete however, expected wear is apparrent and sides have tears. It measures 6.25 x 4.6 inches. A charming and graphic piece of early 20th-century German ephemera, offering strong visual appeal for game history collectors and vintage graphic art displays.
