Description

Card game created by Max Geisenheyner, a passenger on the Graf Zeppelin's circumnavigating flight, entitled, "Around the World with the 'Graf Zeppelin,'" in its original box. The novel card game contains 42 cards that depict various aspects of the flight, including the start in Germany, passage over Siberia and Japan, and arrival in Los Angeles, as well as the interior of the airship and the key members of its crew. Also includes a vintage "Graf's Zep" glass soda bottle, with a design in the form of the famous dirigible. In overall very good to fine condition, with slight warping to the cards, and some damage to the original card game box (including edgewear and splits at corners). A desirable pairing of items that show the way the Graf Zeppelin airship was embraced internationally and utilized as a marketing opportunity by businesses.
