Rare 1921 “Babe Ruth National Game of Baseball.”
Lot 234. Rare 1921 “Babe Ruth National Game of Baseball.” The rarest of the games endorsed by Ruth, this fold-out board game was produced by the Keiter-Fry Mfg. Co. of Lockport, N.Y. The folded board, which measures 7 ¼” x 19”, has two images of Ruth in Yankee uniforms on the front; in the larger, he examines a bat. Inside, there is a baseball field and rules for the game. On the back is a minister’s exposition on "What Babe Ruth Teaches America." His narrative defines Ruth’s importance to the U.S. The top half of the game board is stained, there are chips to the paper around the edges and there are some creases as well. The box and game pieces are absent. Very presentable collector example of a very rare game.
Winning Bid $200.
