MARBLEMISER Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hi all Just wondering if anyone knows something about this game? It looks like a table top pinball game. It has what looks like MK double patch marbles. When three marbles line up in the tumblers of a lock. There's a key on the side that turns & opens the top giving the player a prize. Anyone know what one of these games would be valued at? Steph have you seen any of these in your research? sorry no pics Thanks marblemiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Not ringing a bell. I've seen a lot of mentions of bagatelle games but don't know about the different styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Is this it? (pdf of a 1939 catalog page, Canadian company) It says 4 marbles here and I don't see a mention of a prize. But doesn't hurt to ask? I'd guess maybe it had Japanese marbles? http://www.collectio...lc005956.70.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hi Steph, Some reason the link didn't load for me. It sent me to another site. Any how It's much later than 1939. I'd say late 50's or 60's. The game is a smaller version of the regular Pin Ball game. Something youwould set on a table top> It has flippers & several marbles. All of which are MK double patch. They are like the red, white, & blue patches, that MK made in 76. Only the marbles in the game have red, green,& brown patches among other colors. It's about the same length as the old metal pin games that had wood backs. this one sets on 4 plastic legs. and is enclosed in a plastic shell. They must be rare if you haven't heard of or seen one. I have 2. One with a partial box. Both have the full compliment of prizes.. The box picture's children dressed as Pirates. sorry still no pics. thanks for your help. marblemiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Interesting about the prizes. Fwiw, here's a pic of the game from the catalog page. Palm trees, not pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi Steph, The one you have pictured is a flat board construction. The one in my question looks like a miniture pinball game. Like the ones found in arcades. They must really be rare as none of the board members has chimed in. I'm hoping that someone knows something. It's hard to value something that's unknown? Thank's again Steph for looking for me, marblemiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARBLEMISER Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Steph, it's not actually an auction. The price is $75.00. That's not bad, with the original box. Amazing what one can do when one puts they're mind to it??? Thanks again marblemiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I meant the auction on the ebay search page you linked to. No bids yet but over six days to go. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390371030535 Here's one which was listed for $110 but ended early. http://www.ebay.com/itm/130490369057 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Heck I didn't see the one listed on ebay. It'would be worth the listing & shipping just to have a good box. And a few cracks aren't hurting a thing<<<.. Thanks for posting it . Maybe I'll give it a shot? The one in Canada has a shipping prob.$61.00? Wow that's a bunch. thanks again, marblemiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
