I am picking up a 1947 "Havana" early next week, my first flipperless pin. This got me curious, what are some of the oldies you pinsiders have?

Wow...I have never seen that version of Beat The Clock. I have a 1985 Bally Beat The Clock in my kitchen currently, looks to have a few similarities yet years apart.
I had a Gottlieb Play-boy from 1932 for a while. Some of my photos are in the listing on IPDB.
This early flipperless pin was more enjoyable than expected. Very attractive and the internal cast parts were unbelievable.
Fun to see a fully mechanical pinball that does not use any power.
1940 Exhibit Wings. And looking it up, I see there are no photos under IPDB. Will have to take a few when it comes out of storage....... Its too bad, you could tell that it originally had very vibrant purples and pinks on it. But my game is all faded to not much more than tans and peach.
Then, fast forward to 1965 Kings and Queens for the next oldest pin. Unless you want to count Bally Big Time bingo 1954.

I know this doesn't count, but I had the chance to buy a Cross Town (1966 Gottlieb) back in the early 90's for 150 bucks from a good friend. At the time I thought it was too old fashioned and I didn't like the little 2 inch flippers so I passed on it even though I had the cash in my back pocket.
It was in perfect condition with new flippers, rubbers, lights and coils and the subway doors worked yadda yadda. The guys garage was full to the ceiling with pinballs and all sorts of junk, and his wife said to clean it out or else, so that's why he offered it to me cheap.
I'm still kicking myself to this day that I didn't buy it. I'm an idiot.
I regretted it and went back a few hours later to pick it up, but he had sold it.

Quoted from Pauz21:I want one of these. Badly. Is there anywhere to find one of these? What are they selling for?
These are getting very hard to find.
Have seen total projects (missing parts which some can be impossible to find) go for around $800
Complete restorations 3-4K and up.
Good luck... the three Rockola's World's Series, Jigsaw, and Army Navy are true mechanical marvels.
