SHOOT-A-LOOP (1936)

SHOOT-A-LOOP is a marble-shooting, point-scoring, dexterity game for any number of players. There are many ways to play, but all involve loading a marble or marbles onto the loop-track and launching them into scoring positions by pulling back and releasing a spring. Original box included: Tin loop-track with integrated scoring tray and launch spring 6 glass marbles in different colors Packing slip Instructions printed on box The box reads: DIRECTIONS FOR PLAYING No. 59 SHOOT-A-LOOP Place all marbles in the track at the lowest point. The marbles are propelled forward by pulling button found on the end of flat spring, away from the upright and allowing it to spring back with a snap. After doing this a few times, the player can judge what force is necessary to shoot the marbles into the scoring tray. Scores are plainly marked beside each hole in the tray. In most cases, players will have their own ideas about method of play and scoring, but we find the following to game very interesting. Players will have to use their own ideas in deciding who is to play first, second, etc. One player continues to shoot until all marbles are in the scoring tray. The total score for this player is then taken and the next player takes his turn. This continues until one of the players has accumulated a total count of one thousand or over. He or she is the winner. MADE BY WOLVERINE SUPPLY & MFG. CO. N. S. PITTSBURGH, PA.
