Here is a photo from Calgary Kijiji. Have never seen one, ever. Interesting indeed! What year would this be from 1920's? A cue stick is included. Wonder if it was home made or produced in a factory?

It has Regency style to it, but does not look that old. The playfield has what appears to be made from strips of narrow flooring, not really sure.
Also what rules of play would it have? One ball is brown, is it used as a cue ball?
Darcy those were the precursor to the early pinballs!
I’ll see if I can grab some info from one of my prewar pinball books
I am not going to buy this, just thought it was interesting, and not very common. There are large older homes in and around Calgary, as this table would take up some space.
That Single Brown ball has to be hit with your ball to score your ball. Is one rule on Google for a Bagatelle Game.
That ball return looks out of place, it looks different than the rest of the table.
I've seen quite a few of these over the years, all different versions of course. I have a 35mm picture of the one at Mackinaw Island but I can't find it right now.....it's deep in my archives as the picture would have been taken back in 1999.
The most recent one I've seen was at an auction and I did manage to get the following pictures of it. I think it went for like $100 if I recall.

Inquiring minds want to know,

Never bought it, just posted it for general interest. It does resemble the example that manitouguy posted, but it is slightly different.

The game is similar to my late 1800's Brunswick-Balke-Collender table. It appears to have the same style trap door drop holes as mine does. A ball going through a trap door is returned for play to the box at bottom center at the front of the playfield.
My game has a dimple at the top center of the playfield where a red ball is placed. A white ball is shot with a cue stick with the object being to dislodge the red ball which scores double.
