Label on side of cylindrical container, with a blue background.

"THE GAME OF" (in white) above "ALLEY" above "OOP" (in yellow with black upper-left shadow).

Two scenes are shown on the side of the cylindrical container.

The first scene shows a finger on a hand (in yellow) at lower left pressing upon a pivot piece to propel a lollipop-shaped projectile into the cylindrical container, replicating the image of the container side. 4 instances of the projectile are shown heading into the container.

At bottom is "Manufactured by ROYAL TOY COMPANY, INC., Worcester, Mass., U.S.A."

The second scene shows a caveman figure (yellow skin, black clothing diagonally across chest) sitting on a rock in front of a tree with a stack of clubs next to him. One club has been propeled to the right, where another caveman figure (yellow skin, black shorts) is standing and holding a club beneath a tree. A Brontosaurus dinosaur is standing in the rear between them, with a "?" (in yellow) above its head.

Between the left caveman and the dinosaur is the company logo, a yellow circle with black rings alternating with yellow, and inside "ALL FOR FUN ☆ FUN FOR ALL" is shown around the circumference (in black on yellow) and "ROYAL" (in yellow) appears vertically, intersecting the horizontal "TOY" at the letter "O" (all in yellow on a black background).

At bottom, the following appears: "PATENT APPLIED FOR" and "© 1937 STEPHEN SLESINGER, INC., N.Y.".
