A small quantity of these were discovered in the UK a few years ago , all new in the box, but there were not really that many. These come to my knowledge in either red or blue. These toys are quite rare and are much rarer than many American toys from the same time period. Japan was still the mass producer of toys for the foreign market. Pre - 1960 toys seem to be a good investment in this condition from China. A nice oddity for your 401K. Price: $80.00 USD

Though a popular indoor game during rainy days in the Victorian era , the game actually has roots into the Georgian period. I am predicting that this ball is a fine survivor and one of the earliest in existence. If you collect carpet balls , then a copper one is surely a must have. Extremely rare. Price: $149.00 USD
