From what I can decipher
there are 4 different versions of this game out there. The original was
put out by Frantz in 1923. 2 years later Hustler Toys took over
production and simply took the Franz version as is and pasted a
"Hustler" sticker over the "Fantz" logo on the spinner (the billboard
in left field still bears the Frantz advertisement). Version 3 was
reprinted by Hustler and all references to Frantz are removed from the
board. The final version was put out a few years ago by Shylling Toys.
There are no references to Frantz or Hustler in the last version and
the holes for the base runner pegs have been omitted.
