27 bids so it did get some interest

Do you think those are the original pocket covers or were they added later?

[Drunkenclam]

Not a clue

I would say, they are probably original, as that seems to be the norm on machines of that era.

1940s pachinko photos I would love to have sonething like that!

I have both seen and briefly played sharmoni's 1940-ish Pachinko machine. Those pocket covers ARE original. They are the front of the actual pocket, not a "cover". I think it's just the way pockets were constructed back then.

Yep. Fold a sheet of metal to make almost a complete cube and then solder / weld a face plate on it. And then paint it to add a little decor to the machine.

It's the pockets I loved on this one.
