How about this early machine?

This machine was made in 1938. In possession of a german collector.

That is beautiful, there's something magical about a game that old looking so nice.

That totally fascinates me - I'd love to have a piece of history like that in my gamesroom.

The early german games are nice... looks like this one has the steel playfield, some even had magnets underneath to deviate the ball. its a shame that this was never carried over to the flipper era on these machines, this type of game would lend itself well to having flippers...

interesting machine...
.. as i was once told about my 30's games... "makes for a nice piece of furniture!"

I found two other beauties for sale, but pretty expensive (bidding from 850 euro).

Reminds me of the days in the school yard we used to set up marble rolls,they were about the same size with lines drawn into the dirt and we would put a grand daddy bonker down the bottom and if you could hit it you would win 10 marbles if not you lost your marble spent what seemed like hours perfecting little grooves and recovering with fine bulldust to divert their marbles,i was on a good roll till the school outlawed the practise.

The mass of plated metal on the playfield looks fantastic. The arrows are a stand out.
