Picked this item up from a fellow collector some time back . Figured I'd ask the forum members for help in identifying this unknown ball flip . Has a nickel coin slide that when operated releases the balls . Flip is on the right hand side and you shoot all balls for a high score . 4 dark colored balls and 1 red ball . There are no identifying marks anywhere that I have been able to locate . Quite big and quite heavy , measures 24" tall by 18" across by 9" deep

Sam:
I have never had one of these machines, but know someone that did years ago.
I don't remember if I was able to get the mfr. or date info on it, but did take
photo's of it, at the time. Those pix are on 35mm, and in a file drawer at another
location. It will be awhile til I can get to them. If I did get any info, it will be noted
on the back of the photo. If you don't hear any other news about it, Rattle my cage
again. I transferred your pix to a file, that will hopefully remind me to look.

Thanks Bill will do .

this looks like a table top version of the arcade machine that was on american pickers several months ago.
they had a floor model that the guy had 2 of, and they got one.
same era.. maple? case, 40's / 50's stencil graphics, and ball flip play.
balls were larger in the floor model. as i recall, the balls in the one on pickers had been replaced with day-glo green tennis balls.
this may... or... may not... help in identification.

I remember the machines on American Pickers, and they were not a floor version
of this one. The playfield was much bigger, and a different name, although I do not
remember the name.
