The Official Mickey Mantle Baseball Action Game was made by the Kohner
Brothers, of 155 Wooster St., New York,
NY. Originally named the Kohner Toy
Company, they produced simple
string bead, wooden pull toys, and
their flagship swinging clown. in 1947
the company bought a patent and
produced Push Button Puppets, which
became the company's most popular, and
profitable
product. In 1957 the company started to
manufacture the Mickey Mantle Baseball
Action Game no. 425, which had a
suggested retail price of $1.00.
The actual 'hand held' game measures approximately 6" x 4," and 3½" tall,
to the top
of the uniform number 7 batter.
The game was available with a white
plastic playing field, as well as a
clear plastic version. After the ball
attached with a string is placed on the
wire hitting stand, the game is played
by pushing the spring-loaded 'plunger'
to make "Mickey" swing and hit the
ball. The ball would then land in one
of the compartments on the plastic
baseball diamond which has specific
value of each hit; single, double,
triple, home run, or an out. The game
is played in 9 innings, 3 outs a side,
as in regular baseball.
The front of the red box features a blue-tone photo of Mickey Mantle in
his Yankee uniform, in a left-handed
batting pose. Two of the side panels
picture the game. The end panels
feature a blue baseball bat with a his
1950's style Mickey Mantle facsimile
autograph. The bottom features
instructions and the playing rules.
