Yetibelle Report post Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Ok, yes it's not a sewing machine, but you all have vast knowledge, so I am asking. What is this game table called and have you seen one before? I consider myself talented at searching the internet, but I cant find any other example of this game? It's not a "pinball table", it's not a "pool table", its like a bagatelle game but with 2 players? The balls go up and smack then drop through the pins and land in the point slots? I am sure one of you will know! Thanks Edited July 8, 2016 by Yetibelle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SARK9 Report post Posted July 8, 2016 Seems to be an ancestral form of "pinball"....possibly a type of Billard japonais. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Early_Pinball.jpg -DC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikesc Report post Posted July 8, 2016 There appears to be a wheel missing ( as there was on the one we had when I was a child ), if I recall correctly, I was told that it was for catching young ducks.. OCYMMV ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LumpenDoodle2 Report post Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I agree, it appears to be a billiards based pinball. The balls fired using a billiards cue at either side, and points scored by whatever slot at the bottom the ball ends up in. I believe the four round 'stumps' should be open holes. Traps the ball could fall into, hense the catch box under the table. As a child, I think I remember we had a mini version of this, but we used marbles.
