Quoted from cait001:

It's not pinball, but I have an article up on Japanese Rolling Ball that people here might like

Hey Cait,
Looking through Shorpy I just found this and thought of your Japanese Rolling Ball article. Thought you might get a kick out of it.

Quoted from cait001:

yes that's a fabulous image! Thank you for thinking of me. That photo is in the full body of research, under 1910 http://pinballnovice.blogspot.com/2021/07/tamakorogashi-japanese-roll-ball.html
What a great service that shorpy site is, right? Some really amazing photos in high res. I love to see the old American streetscapes and with the high res you can zoom in on some and read all the signs.

Well I guess I should have expected you'd seen that one. Shorpy is awesome. The Rolling Ball photo came up while searching in there for skeeball. Always hoping I will see my old Wurlitzer in some vintage photo. When I saw that image I was like wow I just read about that. Never knew it was a predecessor to skeeball before the article.

I've also seen a few for sale like the one on the far right in your above photo but never knew the connection before.

Very cool! You mention it's the first electro-mechanical game. I suspect it must be the first multi-player pinball also?
