I have access to a 1954 Williams woodrail machine. It is model #111, and the name is LULU. I do know that a game from this era may be hard to value, due to the age and style of it. Most dont want it due to boring gameplay compared to a newer one. Yet at same time you dont see many wooden railed ones around.
Most people want late 70`s and newer. But to a collector, or one who wants it for decorative, it could be valued at anything I suppose. It is vintage and would be great in a nostalgic store,den,display,collection, etc.
Could someone please give me their thoughts opinions on this machine? I have some pics, but dont know how to post them. It is in pretty good shape considering it being from `54. Backglass is good, little paint flake on corner, but very repairable if one wanted to. The outside of it has original paint and is nice. Have seen far worse. I does have hand or finger wear where the flipper buttons are. Which gives it character and soul I guess. The game was played in its day wherever it was. Also the play surface is pretty vivid as well. It may be able to be polished up even more, but I wouldnt attempt it till I knew proper way to do it, and test a spot.
Anyways, thank for opinions and help.
