Automatenwerke GMBH 1907 billiard game

[lastcenturygames]

French, German or English machine?

Hello,

Do you have any informations about the coin-op machine shown in the linked picture extract from French postal card.
It's like a pinball but in square format.
Mystery?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank's a lot. It's seems to be the good one. It's a first time I see this type of billiard. I'll try to find French advertising now I know what I search!
If anybody has other pictures of this machine I'm interested.
Thank's again.

Hope link is working.

Sorry but the link doesn't work

That's odd. It's working for me on an Android tablet. No longer works.
It's also available on Alamy

It shows British-German actress, Lilian Harvey playing the machine in 1936.
Can it be the same game: first made in 1908 but still current, almost 30 years later?
