Ah...very clever Mr. Bond.
Yes...just trying to get my garage back. The whole story is I bought up two pistol petes and was intending to restore one. The other cabinet got tossed because it was cracked everywhere. This one would be a great project for someone that new how to re laminate the wood, but that's beyond me. Hoping it's gone this weekend....my wife is starting to complain since it's her parking spot it's taking up! 
If anyone is looking for parts off one, next week I might think about parting it out...so send me a PM if you are interested. Shipping will cost more than the parts....probably!

Yes, I noticed that too. Maybe it's the same game as he references the IPDB? Or maybe he's one of those guys that borrow pics? That's never cool but on the upside maybe this one has the correct coin door.

Possibly. But I would think that he would have posted all of his photos in his Craigslist ad if that were the case. I contacted him to see if it is indeed a photo of HIS game.

Let us know. I'm curious.

My first time seeing this topic. Found it while doing a "pre war pinball" search.
Isn't it funny how easy it was to entertain us many years ago?
These machines has to be the most dull and boring ever thing compared to the machines now days, or at least until they came out with the flippers.
I found this one on CL a few months ago and I think it's absolutely beautiful, it's just boring as hell to play LOL.
...And very difficult to win (money) on playing. -gambling device-
This is a 1935-36 O.D. Jennings "Sportsman" pay-out pinball machine.

Great find, Jeff. Thanks for posting!
Quoted from Tyamry:Here are two I picked up from a fellow pinsider and one at Chicagoland. All 3 are restored by Mike Hasnov. Now looking for Army Navy if anyone wants a nice payday!
Good mercy...that Sportsman is out of this world! I'm still trying to put my eyeballs back in there sockets after pouring over those pictures. *gasp* Just...gorgeous. Thanks for posting those shots.
Glad to see this thread coming back to life.

This has been up on e-bay a few times. For some reason he will not allow Jay to post photos of the game on the IPDB.

Probably because he can't be bothered to take his microwave off the glass.

The horse race one ball stencils are incredible. Look at the games made by Universal during this period. That was the gambling division of United.
Here's another item of note, a 1947 Gottlieb "Flying Trapeze".

You may recognize the year as a significant one, same year as the invention of the flipper. In fact, this was Gottlieb's final flipperless game, released directly prior to Humpty Dumpty.

A little rough, but I'll bet she'd shine up nicely in the right hands. Also, that backglass looks like it has some incredible backlit elements (this next image is from IPDB, not the seller:
Also, the lowest priced ad I've posted yet.
Get it!!!
Quoted from RyanClaytor:Interesting asymmetrical ball arch and some sort of central mechanic between the title text on this one.
Interesting indeed! Looks like a Pamco Contact homage. Similar layout, stool pigeon tilt, center progressive scoring mechanism, identical Parader/Contact top hole to advance balls down the progression. I like the addition of a second Parader hole midway down the playfield.
Would make a nice companion piece to my Contact Master & Scoregasm Master. Too bad it's in Oregon.

I have both the Contact Master and Scoregasm Master as well. Both great games.
