Wilder's Baseball Game

From the 1930's or 40's. Marked 'Wilder Mfg Co., 'YLDR' St. Louis Made In USA 11'. Wonderful vintage baseball graphics on the lid. Inside the lid is a National league and an American league roster with towns listed. There is a baseball diamond with cutouts for 'catching' a ball. Apparently there was a batting mechanism at home plate. There are two 3/4" tall metal batters and three paper crowd scenes. Brief instructions on the game board.

Players choosing sides. Then one side starts batting. Follow the regular Rules of Baseball. The swinging Bat will knock the Ball out into the Playing Field where it will stop in an "Out" hole or a depression marked with the play to be made.
