Old marble game Bagatelle

An old English wooden skill game, Bagatelle is the ancestor of the pinball machine. A popular entertainment in bars and fairs, this marble game involves achieving a high score by launching the marble into the hole with the most advantageous value. Four period marbles are sold with the game. The metal plunger that fits into the right side is missing. There are some scratches on the varnish throughout the game. Manufacturer's label from London in the 1930s-1940s.
