Historical artifact, WWII Homefront collectible

This is a rare World War II collectible item, a game, Put The Yanks in Berlin, circa 1941-43.  The box is in excellent condition (looks new) and all the pieces (marbles) are within.  The idea is to use your skill and get the marbles in the spaces in the countries.  Directions are printed on the inside of the box cover.  Made in Cleveland, Ohio by Modern Novelties, Inc.  Good luck!
I have only been able to locate one other identical game, which is in storage at the US Air Force Museum, and is missing some of the marbles; it's condition is not as good as this one.
Anyway, it is a cool item!
