Seldom-seen tabletop arcade game harkens back to the golden age of baseball.  Measuring approximately 26" deep by 10 3/4" wide and 14 1/2" high, the game features colorful baseball-oriented graphics and an ingenious design.  When a penny is inserted, a gumball is "pitched" to the batter.  The bat is activated by pulling the trigger of the gun (with the goal of hitting a home run).  It is definitely more difficult than it appears, and once accomplished, the player is rewarded with a gumboil.  The game features a beautiful two-toned wooden cabinet, is fully-functional, and is all original with no restoration or significant repairs.  What's more, the game comes complete with its original keys, even more of a rarity. A wonderful piece.
