Unnamed bagatelle



Another typical small British coin-operated bagatelle of the early 1930s. Unfortunately the name and make of this one are as yet to be determined.

Test Your Muscles



Try to ring the bell by twisting the handle. According to patent GB20660, this rare wrist strength tester was originally conceived to incorporate an advert and award a cigar or cigarette for a twist exceeding (for example) 120 lbs.

Star Eight



The maker of this figure-of-eight game is unrecorded, but it appears to be of British origin. Balls failing to make the high scoring holes at the top (1000 for orange, gold or yellow, 1500 for red) roll down to the lower pinfield for 500 to 100 points, out or replay.

Scooter Race



This is the rarest of these large two-player racing games from Ruffler & Walker. The little scooter models were made by Mettoy and are based upon the Lambretta LD125 Mk.I of 1951, which gives us a clue as to earliest date of the game's production.

Penny-Go-Round



Oscillating sweepers over the rotating playfield disk cause a continuous shifting of the pennies. The pusher has a small footprint relative to most. Only 55 are recorded to have been made and few of those seem to have survived.

Miniature Cricket



The object is to shoot your penny over the hand-painted, pinned playfield and score the maximum number of runs before being called out (when your coin falls into the left hand 'Out' channel). If the penny falls to the right hand 'Not Out' channel, it is returned.
