Thanks for all the info.
I did see RAMERS show up on a large internet list of baseball games. It said ti was from the 20s. I also read an article somewhere online that leads me to believe that they sent this display box full of chocolate candy bars to PROMOTE their baseball game..... This seems to make some sense - but even if the chocolate bar was called BASEBALL GAME that would make sense too!!!!!
I figured it was a tabletop game, or punchboard game when I bought it - then looked under the lid and was confused again
I thought it was cool - i saw that wood baseball game box buried on a wagon at an auction and instantly was praying for a very very early parlor baseball game in wood crate, but either way this is pretty cool and an unexpected find for the day
