This tin marble game is from the 40s. It will still sling the devil out of the marble at breakneck speed. Made by the Wolverine Supply and Mfg. Company, Pittsburgh, PA. The color of the base pretty much dates it. After 1950 the base was painted red. These are still made today. The simplicity of vintage toys wouldn't hold a child's attention nowadays. It's a shame. Great history with some of the toys of yesteryear. Jimbo
