Glerios, Seipel & Co. Fußball-Match identified

[jimmycowman]

On ebay. Are these games rare?

[gameswat]

I've seen them turn up in many countries on eBay but since, they're German, a lot more often there. But what's your definition of rare!?

I operated one on a 20p coin - fantastic game but goes on too long.

I didn't know they're German made, that would make sense on how they turn up. I'm not interested in it - it takes up too much room for what the game does. I'm sure it will sell well.

That one's been Anglicized to "Cup Final". They're usually called "Fußball-Match" and were made in 1952 by Oskar Seipel (Glerios, Seipel & Co. by 1953) of Stuttgart, Germany.

Never seen this German football machine before. Anyone know anything about it?

[pennymachines]

Quite a few examples in the UK (see thread merged above). It should have a wooden leg on each corner. I have the flyer for it somewhere and the machine itself...



Edited to add - pretty sure those disc-shaped recesses the seller identified as ash trays are for dial score counters.

A friend asked if I could find out more about this machine of his. I've seen it before but know little about it. Can anyone help?

A few have been discussed before, see below thread* covering them and a link to one on YouTube
