Quaint and charming, these vintage pencil boxes from the late 19th Century and early 20th display colorful Allen & Ginter quality baseball scenes atop their lids. Nine players with their positions listed below their shoes are pictured warming up in the older one, while the later one from the 1910s is a rarity depicting a batter in between two action scenes. There is some partial paper loss and minor chipping as well as some writing inside but otherwise they are in VG-EX condition.
