Item Description
9x17.5x1.5" deep choice color box contains game by All-Fair Inc. ©1930 Hal Roach Studios Inc. Lid art features Mary Ann, Wheezer, Fatty, Pete the Pup, Jackie Cooper and Farina w/stereotypical mammy character. They are shown sitting on fence w/broomsticks as part of game. Box lid has professional repairs to corner split and one corner split not repaired. Two tears to side panels w/repairs. Cardboard reinforcement added to interior of one corner. VG overall. Contains 1 of 4 original balls, pair of 3" long green supports for the game which are well-crafted replacements and the heavy cardboard standup has a few tiny paper rubs on segments that fit into supports and a few minor dots of aging but overall clean and VF. Five paper labels on wood die-cut brooms are attached to standup and are meant to be knocked down. Each broom has 5 or 10 points as labeled. These brooms were to be struck by ball causing them to fly upward but this action no longer works as the rubber bands that caused the tension are dried, broken and incomplete but could be replaced. Five cardboard figures have wooden blocks on back allowing them to perch on fence rail. These figures are named on top edge of fence and consist of Fatty, Wheezer, Pete, Farina and Mary Ann. Although Jackie Cooper is shown on lid and on standup piece, there is no figure for him and his name is not mentioned on standup as produced. Oxidation to metal fasteners on Fatty, Wheezer and Pete who shows creasing. Overall cutout figures are Fine. Nice graphics. Scarce.
