Gottlieb Baffle Ball

[deacon]

mine is like the one pictured lacking the table & baffle ball sign.
Thought it would be valued higher though.
Are there any resources: books or websites which include these older pin ball games?

Deacon, great item.
You probably know all this already, but since you asked for leads...

The Internet Pinball Database is the premier source for pinball info.
Your specific game (Baffle Ball Sr.) is here:

and more variations of Baffle Ball can be found here:

Pinside is a pretty busy pinball forum with plenty of discussion of antique games. That's here:

Two excellent books on pinball and coin-op history, both of them loaded to the gills with big color photos, are:
Pinball! by Roger C Sharpe (1977, E P Dutton)
and
Slot Machines and Coin-Op Games by Bill Kurtz (1991, Chartwell Books).
Baffle Ball is mentioned and/or shown in both.

Sorry we can't provide any input on market value. The tabletop versions of Baffle Ball are seen fairly often,
but the Baffle Ball Sr. coin-op is pretty scarce, and we haven't tracked any auction prices for it.

We hope that's of some help.

Hunts has sold a lot of 1930's pinball machines over the years. Search pinball one word for best results

Thanks for all the information
