Ring toss game comprised of a print on cardboard with metal fittings, meant for hanging. It is decorated in the center with a smiling man in the moon having a yellow face, set against a blue night sky. The moon is surrounded by eleven yellow stars, all of which have a brass-colored metal stud protruding from the cardboard backing and a circle below with a number for the point score. The game comes with five small brass colored rings. The name of the game is printed in large red letters. At the bottom, against an illustration of white clouds, is a banner with the slogan “For Exercise and Health.” The entire illustration is surrounded with a yellow border. There is a hole at the top for hanging the game board on the wall, reinforced with a metal ring. Library of Congress copyright records indicate that the design was copyrighted in September 1924 and January 1925 by Alfred Brown of Brookline, Massachusetts. Apparently rare, we have been unable to locate another example.
