Below is the description of the machine. It is the exact language that was in the listing when I bought this machine.
Limited edition, based on the 1930s real machine.
This coin-op fun game is one of the all time classic penny skill games, which was commonly used in a Pool Hall, Saloon, Ma & Pa General Store, Barber Shop, etc. in the 30s, 40s and 50s. First made in the late 1930s by Pace Manufacturing Company. It is one of the classic counter top skill games. It’s only 9\" inches wide and 17\" inches tall to the top of the marquis, it didn’t take much valuable counter space, and as a trade stimulator, its play appeal made it profitable to operate. Patrons would line up to play this machine, each trying to top the high score! Some merchants would offer a candy bar or other prize for a high score. It also has a feature that allows it to be wall mounted with 1 screw! It works like this; The player inserts a penny into the slot, turns the crank on the side of the machine, and 5 steel balls drop below the playfield to the \"On Deck\" shooting trough. One at a time, the player “snaps” the thumb operated shooting handle, and shoots one of the steel balls whirling up into the baseball playfield. The playfield looks like a baseball diamond. It has 5 individual scoring pockets, Home Run, Triple, Double, Single and Walk. It also has a large V backstop near the bottom labeled “Foul Ball”. Balls landing behind the 3rd base and the 1st base (walk) lines hit the backstop and are foul balls, just like in the real game! A hole at the bottom of the foul ball backstop V funnel is marked Shoot Again. All foul balls go into this hole and re-emerge back into the On Deck shooting trough to be played again! Only one hole at the absolute bottom of the playfield is labeled Out. All the balls that score into one of the scoring pocket are sorted out into the score columns below the playfield. Outs go directly to the Out column. When all 5 balls are played, a player tallies his score according to the instruction card. The balls line up in individual scoring columns. Base hits are added up, every 4 bases counts as a run. According to the instruction tag, 2 runs are a minor league player and 4 runs are a major league player. The Foul Ball Return feature makes this a more fun game to play than the similar spiral playfield baseball games made by Pace’s competitors. This is a cousin to the Pace Whiz Ball penny skill game. It is the same size and style of case. Genuine solid Rosewood top and bottom. This is exactly how the machine was made and looked when it was shelved in 1952! Each machine has a serial number deep stamped into the wood back base and is accompanied by a corresponding numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by the slot master who supervised this final run and is suitable for framing. A limited number of 500 machines are being manufactured. When this last production run of this model is made, the tooling for it will be destroyed. This machine will never be made again. 500 might sound like a lot, but that’s only 10 per State! When they are gone, they are gone! This machine is a working extended production of the original Pace Baseball game, made from original Pace tooling. It looks and plays identical to the old machine. Aluminum, Brass, Steel and Wood, No Plastic, made to original 1952 print specs, right down to the brass handle and the slotted screws! Works great, excellent reproduction to the tee. Comes with the top marquis and two keys. It is heavy due to original thickness plate glass, Steel Case, brass parts, etc. 18 Lbs. Shipping weight.
Machine is to be paid for within 48 hours after the sale ends.
