Art Deco Baseball Coin Drop Baseball Game Arcade. An extremely rare piece of baseball amusement. Created during the art deco period in Chicago Illinois. This is a baseball coin-op game, titled "Play Ball Amusement Machine," and has been manufactured by the Exhibit Supply Company back in the 1925. Crafted in solid steel with beautiful details embossed showing baseball players of a pitcher and a catcher in positions. The playboard is carefully paint with green, red black and yellow colors with the round pin holes. This game has always been highly prized by collectors for its highly decorative artwork on the front and each side. All of the artwork is done in relief within the metal framework. A pitcher and catcher are pictured on the front, while an identical image of a fielder, together with a crossed bats-and-ball motif, adorns either side. The game is a bagatelle derivation in which the customer shoots a penny into the machine. There, it navigates a series of pins and falls into either one of the "fielder's" holes, or descends to the bottom, where it registers a single, double, home run, etc. The novelty aspect of the game is that if the penny reaches the bottom, a lever is pushed which returns it to the customer. If it falls into one of the "fielder's" holes, the penny is lost. A small sign on the interior displays the rules legend, "A game of skill, test your batting eye made a hit and get your penny back". The coin box inside has been nicely restored; the lock is original with the key. All parts looks original and the functions of the arcade amusement machine game are in working condition. The game, which is in working order, is complete with its original key and displays wear commensurate with its age and former use. Excellent condition overall. Wood, metal, and glass construction. An incredible historical piece in great condition that should adorn any room.

Well, of course living in San Francisco as we do, we occasionally run into interesting collectibles from our local sport's teams. This sign is something we have never seen, and as we asked around, nobody we knew had ever seen it. This logo of the happy shoot'em up cowboy was used as their very first when they joined the NFL in 1946. The sign also bears the embossed logo of the NFL at the bottom right corner. This logo was eliminated in 1967, at the suggestion of the league. The guns image probably wasn't in the best interest of the league. This was too high of a quality item to be sold at games. Besides being all copper, and having the original walnut frame, this couldn't have been a cheap item to produce. We were very much taken by the great whimsical image and the quality. Whether a San Francisco 49er fan or not, this is just a great sports collectible...
