Default Big League Basket Ball Early Board Game

Picked up this Big League Basket Ball game manufactured by Baumgarten & Co.,

I cannot find anything on this particular one? Seems like there is maybe a newer version (produced at a later date) but I nothing on this one?

Also, I am wondering if this "Utensil Box" was included in a bigger box that contained the actual game board? I would love to see the original board if its out there?

Thank you,
Shawn

Hi Shawn, here's the only pic we have of the gameboard (we don't own it):



What's your information on a "newer version"? Do you mean a later edition
(we don't have any date for any edition of this game) made by the same company?

It's very possible that there was never any "game box" containing the entire thing -- many pre-war games (in any genre)
were sold as just a gameboard and an accompanying small box for the parts ("utensils").

Wow! Thanks Butch,

I am not sure why I said anything about the date?? I guess it could be any time... But here is one I found on the Sports Memorabilia Museum website
that has a colored graphic on the box? Its different, but who knows if its older / newer / same date as mine.

Here is the info given on the website:

"1922 Big League Basket Ball Game. Early basketball games are extremely scarce, this great vintage basketball game is dated 1922 and features beautiful full color graphics on the lid, the condition is EX-MT."

Thank you, Shawn -- we'd seen the gameboard assembly, but never either version of the game pieces or "utensils" box.

Baumgarten seems to have been a very small, very short-lived operation -- can't find a single other product by them -- so it's very likely both editions of the game
were produced within, at most, no more than a year or two of one another, and possibly in the same year (which is probably, but not necessarily, the year of the patent).
