    Quoted from LTG:

    Horse racing game. Or baseball game.
    LTG : )

    Horse Racing gambling device for the win! It most likely wins a majority for the house, some how.

    #4 5 years ago

    Nope, neither baseball. nor horse racing....

    Damn, you guys are good! And what an imagination! Sorry, All wrong!

    OK, another hint, Im guessing its from the early 50s....and its from England......Could be wrong, but my best guess so far....

    #16 5 years ago

    An Allwin machine?

    #17 5 years ago

    Coin operated typewriter?

    #18 5 years ago

    Coin operated Typewriter? Great guess!!!! you too, John, Not an Allwin.....Dont have it yet Lloyd?

    It appears it would have been carried from Pub to Pub, taking coins, but no payoff, or gambling, unless scoring kept by hand.
    Runs on Dry cell batteries.....

    Ill get a few more pics......I just polished all the rusted chrome on the case, and rivets in leather handles, with trusty rust removing sticks.
    Glued down some of the felt interior, and generally cleaned off and wiped down everything, other than the glass....yet its not a pinball.....
    Looks good!

    The Inside, fits the entire square snugly......

    Got the Shape....But No Guesses correct yet......Nice Try Adam and Erak!!!

    Heres the empty case.....you can see some polish on the chrome now.
    I had to blow out, remove some mold, and Glue most of the fabric and felt along all seams....

    bagatelle gambling game?

    #27 5 years ago

    2nd guess is English football game.

    Also the picture inside the box - in the back right corner leaning against it - is that a pole or stick for the game? Like pool table game?

    Quoted from pinbum:

    God, I wish! The closest I have is a Shock ball!

    More Pics! Getting Close....(pic before I glued and cleaned)

    Here are some tubes? There is a second one that was held down by Leather snap straps, in the interior compartment....
    Both are very heavy......

    Ill get another picture up shortly.

    Magnetic activated lifting game. Bet the strongest guy he can not lift the bar out of the game. The handler controls the button underneath, the handler can lift out the bar with ease.

    #42 5 years ago

    Fireworks launcher.

    #44 5 years ago

    Good guesses....no winner yet!

    OK, heres some more. This is the stand that was inside....real heavy. There is a base, with 4 swivel legs.
    The bolt has to be threaded forward, as it doesnt fit in box when ready to assemble.
    The second tube, slides into the first one. I cut out the hole in the picture so you could see it.
    The Hole, is where the coin rolls into as a Cash Box!
    No way to get to the coins without a key and disassembly!
    It sits at cocktail table height for 2 players, and there are 2 flipper buttons, one for each player.
    The Wood Formica in the previous picture, is the top of the table.....

    Only 1 pic revealing left after this.....Thanks for joining me and letting me have this fun!

    Ball pops up in center from coin, and two magnets are pulsed by flipper button!
    No game scoring mech....Small, which is unique....

    Now, how do I correctly replace these batteries and hard wire? They are listed as 9V?
