Value of Major League Baseball inside game

[Marklesue]

I bought this game actually at a garage sale it was made by Philadelphia manufacturing co 1913. Would anyone know how or where I could find out value?

A picture would be a start...

I assume you mean one of these? both identical and created by the Philadelphia Game Manufacturing Company around ~1913. These have been inquired about alot. Google them and you will find a lot of info.

The generic one with the green top is not much value. I am guessing you can pick one up for $100 these days.

The elaborate version with the 16 star players on the lid is great value. I haven't followed recent sales, but they sell well into the thousands.

OP was replied to in detail at our own forum, but market prices, just for the record:

Major League Indoor Base Ball (1912-13), in superior condition, has averaged around $3,000. in
on-line sales and auctions over the last 15 years or so, about half that in lesser condition -- although
"bargains" can still be had with luck and patience (a very nice example recently went for less than $1,000.).

Superior examples of Major League Base Ball Game (1913-26) have averaged close to $290. over the same span.
Examples in lesser or less complete condition have still averaged over $170. Bargains can be found there too,
but you'd be extraordinarily lucky to get a complete example in decent shape for $100.

Ok, they're both indoor versions, is it the one with the photos on the lid or the green lid?

Ah, thanks. Must remember to remove tinted lenses next time so we can read the obvious red lettering...
