Electric Baseball - Jim Prentice - model 79B

This is actually one of the more rare Prentice games - the seller had a less than stellar rating - but for a 10 buck snipe - I was willing to take a chance - and I "was" amazed it shipped at the one buck selling price.





I was impressed that it still had the written instructions:



Tho not in the best shape - I picked up this 1938 photo of Babe Ruth when he coached for the Dodgers.

It's from TSN and originally from Acme - thus a news service photo - it's dated on the back 1938.



next - artwork for the 1955 Yankees WS press pin:



It included a "white letter" version of the pin - but based on the design, I think it's a reprint from the 90s by Balfour.



And last - a board game - Parlor Base Ball.



On the plus - it has the written instructions, pieces and die, but is missing the more colorful cover. I guess ya can't have everything.
