Magnificent Early 1930s Peo “World Champion Miniature Baseball” Game.
Lot 1. Magnificent Early 1930s Peo “World Champion Miniature Baseball” Game. Considered the Rolls Royce of tabletop arcade-style game machines, this example is complete, entirely original, near pristine and in excellent working order. It measures 16 ½” x 9 ½” x 7 ¾”. For 1 cent, a player is given the opportunity to catapult three metal balls toward a winding glass enclosed metal playing surface in order to achieve either an “Out, Home Run, Third Base, Second Base, First Base or Sacrifice.” Instructions read “1 Cent for Inning At Bat. Player continues at bat until he makes 3 outs.” Runs are tallied for each team with dials on circular scorers near the top of the machine. Innings are recorded in similar fashion. Metal base runners pop up at first, second and third base as bases are achieved or advanced. Superb period graphics appear throughout. A key provides access to the machine’s interior. Exceptional, extraordinary, awesome; pick your superlative - it applies! If you to have one tabletop game, this is the one to own! Current Bid $888.
