Question about Parker Brothers Peg Baseball Game

[Archive]

Posted By: hockey jim

Hi all. Today I stumbled upon a Parker Brothers game called Peg Baseball. The only info I can find is for the 1940's version and later. I am pretty sure this version is from 1910-1920. The graphics and colors do not match up with the info i found for the later version. Has anyone seen or know anything about this item? I want to go back and buy it but I need some info.


Also picked up a House of David(1925-29) postcard today, which I guess is pretty common and a ticket stub from the 1953 World Series.

I actually just found part of one on ebay

It seems to be just the board though.

You need the book BASEBALL GAMES by Mar k Cooper. He illustrates a few versions. It appears Peg started in 1908.

Very nice, sold for $150-200 each. The lithographs on the early versions are really nice.

Thanks Scott. They want $250 for this one. It's complete and has nice eye appeal, but the box is pretty beat and missing 2 of the sides. So i guess I'll hold out for a better one.
