The first we have seen of this delectable treasure from the late 1940s. This charming relic is in splendid working condition. A reasonable size, the machine itself is an amazing 33x15x24” and perfect for your favorite room of pinball wizardry. Comes with the never seen original wood stand increasing it to an overall height of 56” tall. Beautiful “Heavy Hitter” backglass with detailed scene of a game in progress evokes images of wartime baseball at its best. Very minor wear to the backglass can be easily restored which we’d be happy to have done for you free of charge. Overall EX+. All original it comes with its key, “Playball” paper label that instructs “Minors Are Not Permitted to Play” and sports the old time price of five cents. A bargain at any price.
