A rare and fascinating antique tabletop toy, a spring-powered pinball machine (bagatelle type). This piece is an authentic heirloom, estimated to date back to the early 1900s, and bears a hallmark (f.f.g.g.).
subject and style: classic "bagatelle" design. The tabletop is inclined and features 5 pockets with scoring (200, 400, 600). The game involves launching the ball (included) using the spring-powered cue and dropping it into the pockets to score points. Material and finish: the frame is made entirely of solid wood with a natural finish. The playing field is covered in green cloth (billiards style) and protected by metal studs (brass) that deflect the ball. Mechanism and accessories: the game comes with an original metal ball. The launcher is a spring-powered wooden cue. The front has 5 compartments (for balls or scorekeepers?) numbered (2, 4, 6, 8, 10). Ideal for antique toy collectors, carnival game enthusiasts, or as a magnificent piece of folk art for a tavern or study.
