Watling Blue Seal

Post by arrgee »

Having some spare time this May bank holiday I wandered deep into my hard drive and found some images of this unusual and attractive pinball. Does anyone have any idea of the date - 1930s?

Thank you John, I wondered if our 'polymath' across the pond would reveal more. !SMARTY!
Is it yours?

Argee,

I pulled the information off the site: "https://www.arcade-museum.com". Unfortunately, there was no picture accompanying the reference. Your picture may or may not be the machine. The age look right and it is obviously a quality build. If it is a Watling machine, I would expect that more than one example exists.

Excellent find, Mr. PM. Arrgee's pictures show a modified case but is the same machine. Bravo! !!THUMBSX2!!
