Variety 5 Cent High Score Pin Game. Circa 1930s. Pre-flipper pinball game on standing wooden cabinet on four legs with coin slot, ball release button and plunger, two windows on top covering colored game area. When a nickel is deposited, balls drop into the plunger area, and the player releases them one at a time into the game area, accumulating the marked points. When a coin is deposited in the next round, the balls fall back into the plunger area. 47 x 22 ? x 34?. With a later instruction sheet, two decals (both chipped), balls are absent, mechanism needs adjustment, light wear. No visible lock and key, there is a counter beneath the game. Very good. Third party shipping required.
