The Baker Novelty Co. introduced this wooden "Kicker & Catcher" one cent arcade game in 1935 and it became an instant staple in the penny arcades. Offered here is a working "K&C" game from that era. The base is made of yellow painted wood, and all the parts are the originals. Just place a penny in the slot, push in, and then turn the right knob to release the metal balls. The "kicker" then kicks the ball, and with the left knob you maneuver the "catcher" to catch the ball. The game is in VG condition with paint chips, light rusting, and small cosmetic scrapes throughout. It stands 17-1/4" tall, and is 14" wide. Try your skill!
