Quoted from Darcy: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?
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.
