Ted, hope you don't mind me adding to your thread. By coincidence I just received this baseball top. Your chips seem great.
$75 delivered to US addresses.
Rare Baseball brass bi-level top spinner. Used to play the board game of baseball. I mention "Put and Take" in the title because I am sure that most Put and Take collectors would want this top, as I have another in my personal collection of Put and Takes. .. ...... The brass top alone is listed here for auction/sale. I show pictures of the original box, advertisement and instructions just to show the product's age and use.
"Patented April 1921" is engraved on the upper portion of the top, is readable but faint at places. There is also a faint patent number.
Top is 6-sided. Lower level reads: Strike, Foul, Strike, Ball, Hit, and Ball.
Upper level reads:H.R., 1.B., 2.B., Out, 3.B. and Out.
Measures approx. 1-1/4" long; weighs 31 grams.
Good used condition with patina as pictured. Could be cleaned/polished if liked.
