Well, here's something that seems to only add to the mystery...
we knew Mark Cooper had a set of these or something similar, so we took a look
at his 1994 Home Games book and scanned the photo there of his set...
As you can see, the wooden pins themselves are significantly different than those in your set,
but the painted or decal images of the players -- to which Mark added his worthy but arguable
identifications -- appear identical to those on your set.
