Rare First Edition Uncle Remus pinball-style game, made with mostly wooden parts. Originally came with instructions and seven marbles (color unknown.) The original instructions read:
IDEA OF THE GAME:
The idea of the game is to score the highest number of points. The pictorial scenes on the board represent the homes of the friends of Uncle Remus. The homes are marked with various scoring values. Bre'r Rabbit's home scores 45 points, while Mr. Turtle's home scores but 5 points.
To start the game, place the seven marbles on the slanted runway. Players now take turns snapping the metal lever, saying ZIP! once all 7 marbles have been released. If a marble comes back to the runway it should be snapped again.
Marbles landing in the Briar Patch at the bottom of the board are lost and do not count in the score. When all marbles have come to rest the scores are added and the player with the highest score wins.
Uncle Remus = 50 pts.
Bre'r Rabbit = 45 pts.
Bre'r Frog = 40 pts.
Tar Baby = 30 pts.
Bre'r Fox = 25 pts.
Mrs. Possum = 20 pts.
Bre'r Bear = 15 pts.
Miss Nellie (Butterfly, uncredited) = 10 pts.
Bre'r Turtle = 5 pts.
Skunky = -5 pts.
Zip! = Shoot Again
