Subject:  what do you know about

pinball machines.....really old pinball machines?

I have a pinball machine that I'm trying to get more information on, such
as value, restorations, and history. I found general information on the
internet about machines in the 36-40 era, however nothing specific to the
name or manufacturer.


"Commodore"
Made by Chicago Coin Machine
US patent-several, the last year listed on the coin plate is 1936
Game Inspection-metal stamp, "Expires...1941"
A nickel is required for play (Classic for this era)
There are no flippers-you take your chances with the bumpers or shake the
table being careful not to tilt. (Classic for this era)

The back glass shows several "girls" dressed in sailor outfits. (short
tees, hot pants, heels, and sailor hats.)

The game is in excellent condition, save a couple of rubber bumpers that
have begun to shred and a burnt out light or two.

If you know of anyone who might have knowledge or interest on this sort of
item, please ask them to contact me.
