Thanks for both replies. I’ve assumed the figures were glued onto bespoke triangular bases ( so the figures could be either bespoke or off the shelf). These figures seem to have been used on all examples of this machine that I’ve seen. Strangely, on my machine one team is in tact whilst the other ha...

Does anyone know if the football figures in Crompton’s Star Soccer were bespoke or off the shelf. If the latter, what exactly are they? Thanks.

I did have a brief chat with Henry. Obviously, there’s two sides to every story and ultimately, there’s a point where it’s best to let things drop and just move on. It does seem that the tale is a little more involved in that a price was given and there was a ‘what’s your best price question’. Also,...

So, hopefully you'll hear from him sooner than later, but I guess things have to take their place in the queue. Personally, I've...

I don't know the maker but maybe the owner of this one has more info: South Shields Museum Exhibition I haven't been able to ascertain the manufacturer. It's been put to me that it's Ruffler & Walker (though, if so, the mechanism bears no similarity to their better known two player games). As you c...
