Lot 690: 1934 Genco Official Baseball Coin-Operated Game

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $1,000.00
Winning Bid: $1,210.00
Price Realized: $1,445.95
Auction Date:11/22/2008 9:00 PM EST

Notes: 10 x 37 x 19’’ wood coin operated game made by Genco. Originally marketed as the “Home Run Smash Game that is Going to Start the Biggest Money-Making Play in Coin Machine History.” The original cost back in 1934 was a whopping $35. Similar to the Rockola game of the same era, however the quality of this piece is far superior. The graphics are amazing with illustrations of a pitcher, catcher and a baseball diamond. Metal figural batters also decorate the surface.

Condition: All original with four original wood legs. The graphics are bright and the game shows only very light use. Appears to work fine.
