1930s BALLYHOO 1 CENT ANTIQUE ARCADE PINBALL MACHINE GAME W STAND BALLY MFG

CONDITION NOTES: According to my research, this machine was the first game made by the Bally Manufacturing Company around 1933. It was the second coin operated “pinball” machines ever produced and by far the most successful one from the early days of pinball. This rare 1 cent pinball game measures 31” long by 17.5” wide and is 41” tall including the stand. The stand folds and can be easily detached to make this a table top game as well. The game works properly in all regards but only has six of the seven balls. The rear coin access door is missing but this does not affect its function and hardly affects its display. The top trim board is removable which allows you to slide out the glass for cleaning or replacement. The game has what I would call expected wear to the playing surface and less so on the outside, as you can see. I found no broken or missing pieces other than the coin access door in the back. The pictures do this rare antique no justice. It will display very nicely in a prominent area of your collection room!

This item is one of a fantastic collection of vintage toys I have on Ebay this week. I always combine shipping for multiple auction winners so please take a look at our other auctions and save on shipping!

Please note that the camera picks up lint and dust resting on the toys and accessories that may appear as flaws. Please examine each picture carefully for actual flaws keeping in mind that most of these toys look far better in person than they do in the pictures. I will note in the CONDITION NOTES any details or flaws that are not readily apparent in the pictures but please keep in mind that I sometimes miss a small problem. Please feel free to email me if you have a question or if you see something I missed so I can correct the auction.

I prefer Paypal echecks for payment, which are free to both of us. Echecks are a fast, convenient way to pay for your purchases and they come with all of the backing and safety features of Paypal! To use echecks, go to Paypal and click on "OTHER PAYMENT OPTIONS" and follow the instructions.

Unless you do not wish to pay for it, all shipments will be fully insured. The insurance charges will be listed in the "SELLER CHARGES" section so please remember this when you review your invoice. THE SELLER CHARGES SECTION IS ONLY INSURANCE, NO EXTRA FEES. IF YOU DO NOT WANT INSURANCE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SHIPMENT AND I WILL SEND A REVISED INVOICE WITHOUT IT AND SAVE YOU SOME MONEY.

To help keep our selling and your buying costs low, please leave 5's for feedback. If you have any issue with a transaction, please contact me. I will happily work with you to resolve any problem!
