    Wow! That is a pretty non-descript machine. There aren't really any themes on the earlier machines to speak of. Most of us just call them what we think of when looking at them - whatever stands out. That machine doesn't really bring much to mind, other than the six tulips. You could call it "Six Tulips", unless you have strong feelings on another theme when looking at it.

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    i might call it "generic vintage pachinko machine"
    but my first impression was the center resembled a buffalo, six tulips works just as well
    is there a native american connection to some of these designs?or another culture?

    it does have a shield in the center, I would call it the Crusadar

    yeah definetly a hard machine to name. I think LD has the best one so far. I was going to say just call it a super tulip (because of the tulip in the center) I have a few machines like this. They are all very dull.

    what is on the background? sorry can't tell from those pictures. (or is it even visible) might just call it by the background.

    oh and to answer your questions I don't think so but anything is possible.

    100 machines and counting...

    the background is very indistinct, even close up, sun faded im sure (used to be a picture framer in a former life)
    but it appears to be a flower on the upper right and wind? (a very minimal pattern on the left)
    so far its either Six Tulips,Crusader,Super Tulip, or Gassy Flower...
