Default Frantz The Great American Game

Does anyone have any game pieces for this game or know where I can get them? Maybe just show me what they look like. Thanks D.

I don't have them either D, but I've seen them. They are round wooden buttons. They don't add to the visual appeal and the game is very attractive without them.

If you have images of originals you can probably make close copies.

Here's the game with the wooden pieces in place. They are wooden discs with little stems. The Frantz sticker on the reel is a slightly older iteration than the Hustler version shown in the OP. Frantz sold the marketing rights to Hustler in 1925 I think. The original game was made in 1923. The games are otherwise identical I believe.

I find it interesting as well that Frantz Manufacturing is still in business in the same location, Sterling, Illinois.

Dynarl, you're welcome.

Frank is largely correct, except that Hustler Toy was not a different company, but was actually created as a division of Frantz Manufacturing.
Hustler continued for many years as a quite successful manufacturer of wood and metal toys and games.

There are some variations to the graphics among both the Frantz and Hustler editions -- the metal frame and cowling are seen in
black, navy, and yellow, and some examples have a blue scoreboard in place of the spectators at bottom.

Incidentally, the Frantz/Hustler game was essentially an all-but-exact copy of an even earlier game,
Play Ball ~ The Rainy Day Great American Game, produced in around 1919 by Evan L Reed Manufacturing of Danville Illinois,
almost right next door to Sterling. That game is fairly scarce, and rarely seen in less-than-ruinous condition.
