The Merit catcher
Does anyone know anything about this catcher machine? Date, maker? I've never seen one before, but I know little of this type of machine. I assume it's British with a name like "Rola Bola" and that it's a "drop case" rather than an Allwin?

Re: "Rola Bola" allwin catcher
We've all been at this for some time now, decades really, and yet new (old) machines I've never seen keep popping up. I love it.

As Danny Kaye sang in "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts".
Roll a bowl, a ball, a penny, a pitch.

I would view it as a catcher, but that's just splitting coconut hairs
Re: "Rola Bola" allwin catcher
Don't be fooled by the name 'Rola Bola' - those instruction cards don't look very original.
But I do agree that it's probably British, and it is clearly a catcher.

Re: "Rola Bola" allwin catcher
The guy who owns it posted pictures on Facebook including mechanism, but has since removed them. Was bought cheap at an auction recently apparently. Not seen this type before.
