Sounds familiar. My mother has that same set, no box, and I recall it being dated from the 1930’s too. Though I think the cards and pieces are in a smaller cardboard monopoly box. And that was the set we played with when we were kids too.We grew up playing my dad’s original version from the 30’s. The box was long gone even then and all pieces are in a tin container. The tokens are metal (pewter maybe?) except for a wooden ship he carved as a kid when the original piece was lost. The houses and hotels are wooden. I have a version from the late 80’s that I took to college.
