Fabulous 1930s Art Deco Baseball Game by Pace Mfg Co. of Chicago.
Lot 164. Fabulous 1930s Art Deco Baseball Game by Pace Mfg Co. of Chicago. This machine recalls the art deco styling of the movie theatres. Typically, they had an arcade, where children and adults likely played this game. The “field” and front are stark industrial polished steel. Hand-painted yellow and red embellishments decorate the front. For one cent, the player received five chances to press a lever on the side and fired small steel balls into slots labeled home run, single, double, triple, walk, out or shoot again. The game is 17” tall, 9” wide and 7” deep with a painted steel chassis and cherry stained wood base and crown. On its very top rests a die cut, painted steel sign with “Base Ball, Pace Mfg. Co, Chicago, Illinois.” The machine has keys and is in good operating condition. A beautiful example with a few minute paint chips or stains.
Winning Bid $1,987.
