Dear Sun Spots: I’m writing in response to the “old lady from Lewiston” who was asking for help with a price on a Winnie-The Pooh board game (1933) by Parker Brothers. In my pricing book it is worth $100 in good shape and $200 in excellent shape. If it is in mint condition: no pieces lost, great color, box in good shape, I would value it at between $200-$250. I hope I have helped. Also, Parker Brothers is still in business. – David Pratt, Rumford.

Dear Sun Spots: I live in the South Paris area and would like to know when there is going to be a store to replace Ames. We need another store in this area as others oftentimes charge higher prices and selections are few in shoes, yarn and other items. Thanks. – C. Park, South Paris.
