All Star Baseball Car-Go
 
1 Attachment(s)
This past weekend I was at a local antique shop and came across roughly a dozen of these All Star Baseball Car-Go's. I'm assuming this is a game played in the car, but beyond that I don't know. They were selling them at $10 a piece, but I believe I could talk them down in price.

If anyone has any information on them or would like them, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.

Does this game have two or three dice with it that say "single", "out", etc? If so, I think they were sold in vending machines at Stuckey's in the early '70s. When moving, by car, from California to Arkansas when I was 9 ( yeah, I know, what were my parents thinking haha) I remember getting a 'play in the car' baseball game probably similar to this. Seems like it had a little mini field and dice you rolled for the game.

I remember what you are talking about. I bought mine out of a vending machine at a hwy rest stop

I'll have to go back, check it out, and maybe get one to open in order to see what's inside. There's one on eBay that has a magnifying glass with it, not sure why.
Any more info on this item would be much appreciated to ease my curiosity.

Ya know, you saying that jogs my memory, I think mine was from a rest stop too. I just remembered we stopped at probably every Stuckeys for five days and assumed. But your response brought back a specific memory and I now know it was definitely from a vending machine and guessing it was a rest stop based on my memory of the the machine. Amazing what is buried in memories.
