- IPDB The upper playfield indicates "Patented July 30, 1935 By R.G. Kollmorgen" Robert G. Kollmorgen's 2008 obituary states "In 1935, he invented and patented the Tommy Bridges Pitchers Battle Baseball Game Board. Ten thousand game boards were sold at J. L. Hudson�s in Detroit. He obtained five additional contracts from other baseball stars of the era to produce other game boards. Due to World War II, materials became unavailable and no more game boards were produced." In the Files section of this listing, is Patent 96,384 [DESIGN FOR A GAME BOARD] filed December 17, 1934. Granted July 30, 1935 to Herman C. Guetschoff, Inventor. The document does not reference an Assignor or any other name. The drawing in the patent looks very much like the game pictured in this listing except it shows an unidentified baseball player poised to swing a bat. We note Tommy Bridges was a pitcher. used
