No prob', Leon. "Mean"? You? Never. In fact, you're way more lenient than we are at our own little dog-&-pony show of a forum (absolutely no arguing nor insults allowed, which is probably a major factor in keeping traffic there at a trickle).
It doesn't get said often enough, but we tip our caps to ya for the great job you do running this whole site.

Now where's that greg fella...?

I have posted this on the baseball game site and read your response, thought I would complete the loop and post here;

Questions is/was..Can anyone help identify these? They apppear to be from a game, they are 6 1/2" square, all say "ALL Fair Games", and in addition to these two I also have Baltimore, Washington, Los Angeles, and Atlanta.





PS - Leon, no worries I am just begining to find all the links on these forums.

No worries and I apologize for being a hard butt. Too many memorabilia posts have been being made on the card side and I am only directing traffic. I appreciate your understanding very much. About 99.99% of the members on all of these forums are just regular ole collectors and good folks. If you hang around long enough you will see....take care now....

Hi again, Greg! Leon speaks true.

Anyway -- just for the record here, in case anyone else was curious -- like we told ya on our forum, the gameboards are from Striker Out by Alderman-Fairchild ("All-Fair") of Rochester New York. We don't have an exact date for the game, but judging by the graphics on the box, we'd estimate early-mid 1920s rather than the 1940s you conjectured. The game is subtitled "Baseball Lotto / A Party Game," and appears to be more like bingo with a baseball motif than a "baseball game" per se -- but a very cool piece nonetheless.
