during World War Two there was a table game about collecting scrap iron and paper for the war effort. 25 years ago I saw one and the guy wanted $20 for the thing, at the time I did not have the money and now I cannot remember the correct name of the game or where to find one. I think it was called scraping or something like that. does anyone remember such a game or know where one can find it if you do remember it.
looking for old table game.

I do not know, but something I learned if you check ebay and find it there, look you a list of "sold" games. That will tell you what sellers are getting for them, so you do not overspend. Have you checked online for Antique toys and collectibles? That may help you. I will be another set of eyes and look as well, see what I can find

Could it have been "Rationing on Main Street"? I found a mention referring to that as a board game.
Probably this one "Get in the scrap" 1944

I'm a retired antique dealer and I've never heard of a game for collecting scrap for a war effort. Toys/games are not my area of expertise, though.
Here are some places to check for antique games;

Never heard about that one.
When we lived in Boca Raton there was a shop that had a number of odd games. We bought our son Monopoly in Spanish. It was fun and a change.
I have a British version of Monopoly that I bought in London that we play every once in a while.

Does anyone play trivial pursuit any more as a board Game.?
As well as the main game and questions I had every additional question packs, I loved that game, and I used to take it to the pub every Saturday lunchtime and people would love to play all afternoon., and every Christmas if we were at home I'd cajole my husband into playing a game with me , but last year with a heavy heart I decided it was time to take the whole lot and donate them, so now if I want to play trivial pursuit, I play it on my phone..not nearly so much fun!!

@kburra, all that was visible (at least to me) in your post was the top of the box. That's why I posted one that included the board too.

LOL Kburra, no but it's fun figuring it out. I didn't click on the link above your image of the box. Sorry for the confusion
