Looks like something you might putt a golfball into...

Probably a part off an old mechanical game. Worth $100 imo for anything old and figural. The mask is very cool.

Advertising piece for baseball cups from the 1940's. Baseball cup would fit in the recessed area. They would have these at carnivals and you'd throw a ball as hard as you could to see if you could break the cup. After you were unsuccessful, they'd then try to sell you a cup.

It has 13 bids so obviously there's some demand for it, whatever it is!

LOL, I had that in my watch list...I don't know what it is but it's kind of cool....it had to have been made with that weird whatch-ya-macallit indented area for some particular reason. Rob M. Are you serious? It was used in a carnival?

Oh hell, I don't know....

I thought it could pass as a carnival thing-a-majig until I realized the cup would have to be in there upside down!

that is the best spelling of "thing-a-majig" I have seen. I think it might define quite a few memorabilia articles very nicely. I don't want to say what I thought when I saw this....
