Transogram Company, Inc. was a New York-based toy and game manufacturer active from the 1910s through the early 1970s, best known for producing inexpensive board games and novelty items sold through dime stores and mass-market retailers. This piece is play money — printed by Transogram for use in one of their boxed games, not a fantasy or novelty banknote in the collector sense. Transogram handled their own printing in-house, which accounts for the no-frills production quality common across their game components.
The firm went bankrupt in 1973, ending a run of roughly six decades.
