Ah! Big thanks, Mark. Turns out we're quite familiar with the game -- except for the box lid, which is a variation we've never seen before.
World's Series Parlor Baseball was previously (or maybe subsequently) published as World's Series Base Ball Game, with the same gameboard, rules, scorecards, and endorsement sheet, but that slightly different title and a very different box lid design. There are also three versions of the gameboard, one with nine spinners, and two variations of the "eight plus two"-spinner version you have. Could we trouble you for just a better close-up of the lid alone? Don't worry if it shows up sideways, we can rotate it here. Major thanks again.

Mark that group is fantastic! Butch I know there are some International League teams included in the Major League Base Ball Game editions, are there any other minor leagues represented?

Hi Mike -- NL, AL, International League, and Federal League are the only sets we've seen.

I don't know what league these teams are in, but these are minor league teams in my 1916 major league game.

Thanks for the pic, Mark! We try to have an image of every component of every game for our records.
Those roster strips are all IL teams.

I jut saw where this same 1916 World Series parlor game is up for auction at Heritage with a component not previously discussed--the game piece. As you can see, there are two pieces offered as part of this game:
http://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-co...uction-120115# The reason this struck me is that the game piece appears to be identical to what has been considered part of the px7 Domino Disk set. Here's mine: ![]() This makes me wonder if the game piece has been erroneously included as part of px7 by collectors these many years or if instead it was appropriated after px7 expired so as to be used again. At first I thought it might just be happenstance that these two pieces were found with the game but if you magnify the instruction sheet graphics you'll see where the pieces--more of them actually--were to be used as part of the game.
