About this lot

Year: 1930s

Dimensions: 23×14.5 in.

Condition: Signs of wear such as scuffs, scratches, and discoloration. Patina and rust on metal with separation of the frame.

Additional Description: This lot features a Starlight Bagatelle tabletop pinball game manufactured by Durable Toy & Novelty Corp. of New York, a company established in 1907 and known for its lithographed tin toys and games. Made in the USA, the game features a colorful tin-lithographed playing surface decorated with celestial stars, compass motifs, and vibrant graphics. Gameplay is operated by a spring-loaded plunger mechanism located on the right side, which propels the steel ball into the playing field where it navigates pins and scoring areas. Combining classic mechanical gameplay with eye-catching lithography, this vintage bagatelle game is representative of early twentieth-century American toy manufacturing and arcade-style tabletop amusements.
