Vintage EUC Ranger Rick and the Great Forest Fire Board Game Paperback Book National Wildlife Federation Racoon Smokey The Bear Educational

Vintage “Ranger Rick and the Great Forest Fire” Board Game & Paperback Book, 1960

This is a fabulous game from 1960 – fun and educational for the whole family.

Ranger Rick is a racoon. He is charged with the safety of the forest, all creature that inhabit it and you!

The game is played by 2, 3 or 4 players or two teams of 2! Players must work together to prevent a forest fire and rescue animals using strategic moves and teamwork.

All pieces are present and in very nice condition. The spinner has a minor crease, but doesn’t affect the spins.

The box, however, suffers storage and age related wear. There is cellophane tape on every corner of the box top holding the broken corners closed. The top also suffers marks, paper loss, secondary price tag, and is slightly smooshed. The box bottom has one broken corner, untaped.

Pieces:
- Tri-fold out board
- Spinner
- Four playing pieces
- 20 Walkie Talkie cards
- 20 Swamp cards
- Instructions

As a bonus, you get the paperback book, “Ranger Rick and the Great Forest Fire.” Written by John A. Morris with illustrations by Lorin Thompson. I would say that the book is in Very Good condition. Minimal wear. No writing. View video.

~~ Compulsory Off-Site Ad Program ~~

Etsy forced its sellers into a costly COMPULSORY Offsite Ad program when a threshold revenue is achieved. First, they forced us into offering Free Shipping by changing their search engine optimization (SEO) to favor listings with free shipping. So, in Etsy’s threshold calculation, the “revenue” includes these shipping costs that we sellers sometimes cover. Etsy cherry-picks the 12-month window for inclusion in the program. My shop was swept into this predatory program during the height of Covid-19 Lockdown when online sales skyrocketed. We can never get out of this program, even when our revenue falls back to normal. Please, always go directly to etsy.com to make a purchase if you see something you like in an off-site ad – don’t click on it! I understand that your click-through link stays active for a month. Thank you! (Offsite Ads are located on Social Media apps (FB, IG, etc) and search engine results on google/yahoo/etc.)


~~ Add On Items ~~

Why not add on a few items to your order for little to no extra shipping costs? Just search “ADD ON ITEM” on my shop’s home page. Etsy does a good job of calculating combined shipping costs for two items, but can be a bit high for 3+. I always refund shipping overage of $1+.


~~ Shop Reviews ~~

Both buyers and sellers have a responsibility to the Etsy Community. I respectfully ask that you contact me should any issue arise PRIOR to leaving an unfavorable review.

I have worked hard over the past 15 years to provide quality vintage items and great customer service. My shop has contributed to the Etsy’s positive reputation which allows buyers, like you, to have to confidence in making a purchase here.



~~ Photos ~~

Photos constitute part of the product description. I strive to provide clear photos with close ups when applicable. Please view photos carefully and take advantage of Etsy’s photo zoom function (hover cursor over photo to show magnifying glass icon, then click).

Unless otherwise stated, all photos taken in natural or sun light, without flash (unless indicated). Always happy to provide additional photos. Just send me a message.


~~Vintage~~

Unless otherwise stated, the listed item comes to me via Estate Sales or Charity Shops. I strive to give you accurate, complete descriptions. I will note any damage, smells, etc. that I find. Vintage items and clothing are pre-owned; so expect some wear/usage.

Also, I cannot know the history of the item and whether it has come in contact with pets, smoke, etc. However, my home is smoke-free and pet-free.

All that said, I wouldn’t sell something to you if I wouldn’t have it for myself. See my 5-star feedback and purchase with confidence.

Please message me if you have any questions prior to purchase.



~~ Shipping ~~

Etsy now requires items of $10 or more to be mailed with tracking. Therefore, even items such as cross stitch charts and pattern leaflets which could qualify for First Class letter mail for about $2 (no tracking) will need to be shipped with tracking (~$5). This isn’t shop owners’ requirements; it is Etsy’s.

Whenever possible, I will combine shipping to save costs. I’ve guesstimated the shipping costs. Any overage of $1+ will be refunded after the parcel has been shipped.

If you are using an overseas shipping consolidator, your purchase is only guaranteed to reach the domestic US address provided in your order details. Your purchase is an acceptance of this condition.

Reuse is the most sincere form of recycling. Therefore, when available, you will receive your item in pre-used packaging. Please consider reusing again.

While I don’t generally accept returns, please contact me if you have any issues with your purchase. I’m human and make mistakes. I will certainly correct my errors at my cost.

~~ Tips for Searching Etsy ~~

Etsy is making finding what you are looking for even harder than ever! Now, you get five rows of Category results before getting to the general results. Some folks may like this, but not me. Follow these tips to help narrow down your search quickly.

1. Enter specific keywords in the search box.
2. Start with “vintage” if you are searching for something vintage.
3. Scroll down the results page past the Category rows.
4. Change the default SORT from ‘relevancy’ to any other option. This will eliminate a lot of useless listings.
5. If your search hasn’t found anything, Etsy will still give you a bunch of listings, but also tell you, very inconspicuously that your search “had no results” in the upper left corner of the page (in a web browser).
