And I see a lot of old games

Condition and rareness are the most important issues. Most likely yours is in the $30 plus range. A quick search of Ebay and the Google I got no results, so may be rare.

Further research shows it's not the game that eventually turned into Scrabble, but I guess the only way to find out what it's worth is to sell it at some point. New finds like this are what makes doing what we do so much fun.

Sometimes you can read through the history of the maker and get some leads. Sounds like a great find. ARe the tiles wooden or another material?

The tiles are wooden and there are little stands to hold them during the game, just like scrabble. The board is different, though. It's pretty much a square with holes in it. I haven't gotten around to doing anything with it yet - can't decide whether to put it on ebay or sell it in the shop or email someone on a game collector site.

crummy eyes.

On Facebook, there is a group called What is this? Antique Vintage and Unusual item identification. And another group called Talking Antiques. They are free to join, and can be fun to read through. Someone might be able to help you learn more about your find.
