You are looking at examples of<br />
the first celluloid balls ever made!<br />
An expert on celluloid has attested<br />
that Cup and Ball <strong>Tennis</strong>- for Parlor<br />
or Lawn was the first game to use<br />
the new & highly volatile celluloid.<br />
Furthermore, this may be the<br />
first parlor game based on Lawn<br />
<strong>Tennis</strong>. This marks the beginning<br />
of an evolution of many short-lived<br />
indoor tennis games that would<br />
culminate in the development of<br />
an action game of tennis on a<br />
table by 1890.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rules indicate that the balls,<br />
which are light and hollow, were<br />
tossed & caught using celluloid<br />
cups with handles, with Lawn<br />
<strong>Tennis</strong> scoring.<br />
