AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No. 1 Peg solitaire game dating back to the 1970s, produced by the Finnish design company Artek of the well-known designer Alvar Aalto.
From some research conducted, it appears that the Finnish company, in the 1970s, granted licenses for production and distribution in Italy for some products, including board games, hence the original label on the back that reads Made in Italy.
The item is complete with original pegs and original box (unfortunately not in very good condition, as the photos show).
Instructions are missing, so photos of instructions downloaded from the web are attached.
These board games are extremely rare on the market, especially in these excellent condition.
Collectible item.
The item, in fact, has never been used because it belonged to the stockroom of an old toy shop that ceased business at the end of the 1980s.
Dimensions of the triangular board: height 26 cm, base 25 cm.
