What's your oldest pin game?
« on: February 08, 2009, 12:45:05 AM »
OK, that was a "Trick-e-Question", as it was mainly to serve as an intro to asking for input and information about this little beauty from 1937 that I picked up a couple of years ago for a few dollars on Ebay, and rediscovered during the unpacking. This sort of game is a bagatelle style game, but does have the ball shooter, balls and playfield obstacles all of which make it a pin game - especially the actual **pins** that serve as obstacles.

Anyone else got any of these old pin games?

Oldest I have owned was Chicago Coins Home Run from 1937: (now Bayview owns) http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?name=Home+Run&mfgid=81&yr=1937&searchtype=advanced

Oldest now is Williams Amber from 1947: http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?name=Amber&mfgid=413&yr=1947&searchtype=advanced

Interesting find Nick. Have you done anything to it yet in terms of restoration?
