Starball 'flipper' game from a bar - 1920s - 24½"

Dating from the 1920s, this original bistro game or 'flipper game' would have been played by guests over drinks.

The balls are neatly stored in a compartment with a sliding door, then sat in the vertical shoot - when the lever is pulled downwards it shoots the ball up and it lands in a cradle with a certain score. A fun piece of history that would be perfect for a billiards room, rumpus or home bar.
