Item description

I am selling my 1952 Williams Horsefeathers. This game is better than new. It was done by a very high end restoration company that took over 1.5 years to finish for me. As far as I know, there are only two left in existence anywhere in the world. I believe the other one is owned by David Copperfield, but I may be misinformed. It is a two player game and requires dimes to play. It is certainly the ultimate "dollar game." The goal is to get your horses across the finish line ahead of your opponent. One player has horses 2, 4 and 6 while the other is 1, 3 and 5. Hitting the bumpers and other items advance your horses. There are shots where you can increase your speed and decrease the speed of your opponent. No detail was missed as almost everything you see was recreated.

I am not interested in trades as I am selling this because I am moving and downsizing my collection.

Please contact me with any questions. I am happy to provide as many photos as you require.

This is in a walkout basement, but will require 3 people to move. It is heavy and bulky. I can help if you come and pick it up, but please bring friends.

As always, I prefer cash on the glass, but I realize this game has a very limited audience. Shipping can be done, but will require the company to know it is a bulky 300 pounds with 5 steps up out of the basement and around to the front yard.

This game is not just a work of art, it is a piece of pinball history. Again thank you for looking.

I dug through some of my old pictures and found the one of a Horsefeathers someone brought to expo in the early ‘90’s. IIRC, it played well and we played a bunch of games on it. Very cool game.

Looks incredible and I’d imagine it would take center stage in any game room .Glwts and I hope it stays in the area .

7 minutes away. Time to downsize a bit. I don't think there's a way to get it in the new basement, and my wife said no to the dining room. If it does not sell, I will have to figure something out. Open to any kind of crazy offer.

That version had 4 bumpers instead of 3 and did not have the outside lanes that my version has. I honestly have never even seen one other photograph of the version like mine. It might be the sole survivor. Thanks again for the kind feedback.

Well I did win my $2 back in the recent Megamillions drawing. How about that ?

Just messing with you bump. Great looking game. Best wishes with the sale and hope it gets a good home !

Funny! I just noticed how low res the photos I posted here are, but I still found a home for it where I know 100% that the owner is going to appreciate this piece of pinball history. I will definitely send some high res photos to the future owner. Sale Pending. Thanks for looking and inquiring to everyone who contacted me about this.
