The Lees and Wood Ball Game auctioned last year by Hunt is the only example of the game we've ever seen or heard of
in all our years in our little backwater of the hobby. It may not be the only surviving example, but it is the only one known
to any game collectors, as far as we've heard (Brent may have spotted an example we missed -- we do need new bifocals).
It's one of the few games to have eluded Mark and his now largely dispersed collection, and neither the AGPC nor Alex Malloy
have any record of it. We'd tend to concur with Hunt Auctions' guess that it's a one-off prototype, never successfully marketed
due mainly to its unwieldy size. The price you paid was a shade higher than we expected to see, but only a shade, given what
a great display piece it is -- other than that, of course, there's no track record of sales, so you've basically established the
market rate for it. Weird that your internet search didn't turn up the listing of the game at our website...
