French allwin machine
Just bought a nice package of machines this week
There is a early french circle skill machine, like an allwin. Tax plate is from 1914.
Before attacked by showmen with paint and "nice ideas" it seemed to be a machine from high quality.
Comparable machines are:
"Le Turf", L`inconnu , L´auto.
Machine "Le Casino" has an comparable cabinet.
I´m searching for pictures of inner side from playfield. I think tere are no great differences between this two column machines.

Re: French allwin machine
Congratulations on the package!
As you say, looks like a good quality early French allwin under that paint. I've edited your topic title to "allwin", as in the UK a "Circle Skill" is a game with a rotatable pinned disc.

Re: French allwin machine
Have removed blue and red paint in large amounts
The wooden case shows some scratches...normal for a over 100 year old machine.
There is still a lot of work to reconstruct the playfield.

Wow! What a transformation! Hard to believe it's the same game. Well done.
Was the shaped top not part of the original cabinet?

Hi PM!
I think the top is not original, but very old. There was no red or blue paint under the enamel sign.
The playfield seemed to become the hardest part. Here a mirrored picture of the wooden plate. The white rings marked holes. Two colums pick up three balls, the fourth activate the payout system.
This one is the same system:
