Description
A wonderful and rare example of a pre-war “woodrail” pinball machine, this is the 1948 “Baby Face” by United Manufacturing of Chicago. As a pre-flipper game, it represents an early era of pinball game play and design. The machine features beautiful and vibrant Art Deco glamour girl artwork on both the playfield and the back glass. This is a complete, non-working project machine. The painted cabinet and wooden legs show significant wear, scuffs, and paint loss. The playfield is in good original condition for its age with some expected wear, and the back glass is in very good condition with minimal flaking. Its working condition is unknown and it is being offered as-is. Measures 49″ long, 24″ wide.
61″ tall.
Circa 1940’s cast aluminum carousel horse most likely from a San Antonio Roller Works or a Mangles carousel. All we know is that it came off of a carousel that was parted out in southern Illinois in the 1970’s. The horse is a jumper with very nice paint. Comes mounted on a pole and a steel diamond plate base. Comes with a pair of stirrups but no straps or bridle. NOTE: Pickup/Transport required. Contacts available post-auction.
