Tudor model 618 619

[RPD]

Does anyone know anything about these fields(618...619). The only thing I can find out about these is that they were made by Sears for Tudor around 1968. The field has the logos of all NFL teams around the outside of board. Are these boards any good? Any help is appreciated.

The 613/618 boards were the medium size boards in their day, bigger than the 500 and smaller than the 620. These boards were very well made by Tudor for Sears with no crown in the middle. The span/size of metal used to form the field is a perfect thickness or gauge so that little to no flex or bounce can occur. This mid-size board became the new SuperBowl board in the mid to late 70’s. The Original 613/618 came with the Cards in Red and the Bears in white, I guess because Sears is based in Chicago. Great boards in terms of design, construction and playability, but a little small. Sometimes you can find one of these boards with a black rather than gold Saints helmet on the end. Ray F.

That's very interesting to know Ray.
