I can't answer but the company produced a hockey game as well. Check out the heading:

Vintage 1958 Cadaco Hoc-Key - Game No. 226 Real Hockey In Miniature Rink | eBay

Apparently, the basketball game dates back to the 1930s.

I am not sure which photo is more amusing or descriptive of the era: Robert Plant or Pete LaCock, the son of Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall.
