Question We have a vintage tabletop penny/pinball game that I'm trying to value. There is no manufacturer that we can find. It has FAVORITE arched on the top with a horseracing theme. All steel pegs, opening in back with removable steele case for pennies. Please check out the picture on picasaweb.google.com/rispens4/pennyarcadegame.
Thanks
Answer Cindy,
Your pinball machine was manufactured by Buckley in 1932. My price guide lists the value at $250. Your example appears to be in pretty good shape. The graphics are very important to the value. Yours may be worth a premium since the graphics are nice.
