This was being sold as an advertisement for a baseball game, but it is, in fact, the game itself. A page from a 1911 Sunday magazine supplement in the Detroit News Tribune, the rather insane game is played by swinging a key suspended on a cord hanging from above at tacks placed on the page, i.e. game board. It's about 24" x 18".
