Sell Your 1893 Zimmer’s Base Ball Game

Charles Louis Zimmer (November 23, 1860 – August 22, 1949) was an American professional baseball player whose playing career spanned from 1884 to 1906. He played for 19 seasons as a catcher in Major League Baseball (MLB), including 13 seasons for the Cleveland Blues/Spiders (1887–1899), three seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1900–1902), and one season as the player/manager of the Philadelphia Phillies (1903).

Zimmer was also the first president of the Players’ Protective Association and a successful entrepreneur during his playing days, including operation of a wholesale and retail cigar business that he promoted while on the road. His most famous business venture, however, was “Zimmer’s Baseball Game”, a mechanical baseball parlor game that he invented in 1891 and became popular in the early to middle 1890s.

Below is a recent realized price for a 1893 Zimmers Base Ball Game. This game includes the greats like Buck Ewing, Cy Young and “Sliding Billy” Hamilton. We at Nate D. Sanders Auctions can obtain up to this amount or more for you:
