Sixth One Added / SN 166 xxx (Heart of the Monacos)
In Response To: . . . and Then There Were Five ()

I have added another one (shown fifth in the line-up below); this one is interesting as the case has a 166xxx serial number. This seems to place it in the heart of the Monaco 73633 production, and suggests that these poor quality dials are probably not from the very end of the Monaco series. Seeing this dial on a 166xxx Monaco supports the theory that they are either service dials [doubtful to me] or a series produced "independently" and used to salvage damaged Monacos [my best explanation].

I have moved the "Monopoly Monaco" to the bottom of the line-up, as it is different from the others, with its "houses and hotels" for the markers and closed "4"s.
