Antique handmade pachinko includes 1 pachinko ball

[lotsoballs]

I wonder how much this one will go for? Better condition than many from this era (1930’s perhaps?) That pachinko ball is beyond restoration though…

cool machine, anyone recognize any significance to the graphics on the pockets?
All pockets pay 10, and then you get to shoot your ball again.

Would it be that much? Those early games are a lot lighter and less bulky.
