Post by: SIGNGUY on April 27, 2016, 04:27:20 pm
Found these in a shop near me last week, they are vintage games, just not sure if they are collectable or not?

The shooting gallery about $550 and the love tester if original,would be about $1500 don't know much about the pinball,machine. They look cool though always wanted a love tester to pit in the game room

The pin is a Rockola World Series. I've had one for about 10 years. Very rare in this country. Very desirable in your's by those that collect Pre War Pins. Its all mechanical and is actually a excellent game to play. So much better than others of that era because there is a scoring mech and skill to it.

Rockola made three games at that time. The World Series here, The World's Fair otherwise known as Jigsaw and Army V Navy. The last is the most sought after and if you found one of those for sale I'd probably fly out to collect it.

I love my World Series but like everything old the collector base is dying off, literally. If you were buying to flip I'd research eBay etc before purchase to make sure you don't get stung. They do come up from time to time. Condition being a big factor.

Thanks for the input... the seller is a collector so of course he thinks they are worth $$$ money , but I had no idea or basis so didn't know if he was accurate on his asking prices.. I have not chosen to post those yet, was looking at everyone's thoughts first before making a decision... looking for a flip or to help a member , not interested or have room for myself.
