I'm not deeply into the "games" aspect of the hobby, but just couldn't resist this one. The early graphics are amazing, and the condition has to make it one of the best extant.
The game is from 1908, and includes the original pieces and pamphlet (which contains ringing endorsements from the likes of Hughie Jennings, High Pockets Kelly, Fred Clarke, etc.) It also says things like "the most realistic baseball game ever created", and "will keep your boys in the home and off the streets". Hyperbole that you would never see today... I still haven't figured out how to play, as it seems that home run (up the ramps) or out (in the hole cutouts) are the only options. Not sure how you would score a single, double or triple. If anyone knows, please post!
