In den Warenkorbwooden box with glazed top and original bearing, pasted label to base, this a little soiled, 24 x 16.5cm, good condition. A ball-bearing game, a more light-hearted variant of the same manufacturer's earlier 'Silver Bullet', in which the formation of players blocking your route to goal consists of the Kaiser's son 'Little Willie'… and various prominent German military figures: Von Terpitz, Von Kluck, Von Bulow, Von Hindenburg, Von Der Goltz, Von Moltke, Enver Pasha, Von Sanders, and Count Zeppelin - all of whom shown in hapless postures, before the large gaping mouth of the Kaiser himself provides the final obstacle. The label to the rear purports to outline the rules, but is really an exercise in propaganda, casting aspersions not only on the sporting ability and fairness of the opposition, but their intelligence and sanity.
