1)
Circa 1909 Rare Chicago Cubs Baseball Game. The game is titled Pennant Puzzle and has a picture of Chicago Cubs player Frank Chance and owner Charles Murphy on the box cover. Inside is a puzzle game with tiles listing each of the National League The object of the game is to first put the tiles in the format as outlined on the bottom of the box. You then remove the tile “remove this tile” and then slide the blocks around without lifting them in an attempt to get the Chicago Cubs tile in the upper right corner which represents 1st place in the National League. The complete instructions are on the back of the box. The front of the box has wear as shown in the scans but the lid and bottom section are extremely structurally solid with no missing or split seams or flaps. The tiles exhibit wear from use. The Boston tile is in two pieces as properly noted in the diagram on the inside of the box. The game is handheld and measures approximately 3.5 inches by 4.25 inches. $525.....
