Hi Jonathan, your metal player-figures belong to Pennant Winner, made by Wolverine Supply & Mfg from 1929 through about 1950.
It's one of the most popular and highly-regarded action/mechanical tabletop games in the hobby, and examples aren't very tough to locate.
Twelve constitutes a full set of player-figures (nine red, three blue, or nine blue, three red, depending on the edition). Your "unpainted" figures
are actually painted blue, although they're very well worn.
Not sure what you want to know about Aydelott's From the Field to the Parlor, but we'd be curious as to how many cards your set has.
The number for a full set has never been definitively established, although something between 102 and 105 seems right. There should be
eight (possibly nine) wooden markers included as well. Best evidence suggests the game was introduced no later than 1910,
but it's not all that scarce a hundred years later.
