Hi Guys, really could use some help here.
Just purchased this one, and have been looking high and low in catalogues to get an ID, but all to no avail.

I strongly assume that it is from one of the larger German manufacturers, given the DRGM stamp that survived, but doesn´t seem to be able to pin it exactly.
Guess it was some sort of game, with numbers on the individual holes, but could have been a model of something more specific as well?
Awesome find, would love to see it in action.
I’ll keep an eye out in the few books I have for it...
Regardless of make, it's a cool accessory.
The Game is Bagatelle. While usually a cue ball sport there were chute versions known as well.
the holes around the outside were numbered 1 to * with the middle hole 9. Eight white balls and 1 red were used in a turn, extra points for the red in the middle hole. Although house rules were many and varied,
Finally got around to pulling this out of the box, and checking it out properly.
Time has certainly taken its toll, but fortunately it still is pretty sturdy on all fixpoints.
Took a bit of a beating in transit, but a bit of twisting, and it was good to go again

Very valid guess
Unfortunately i can´t find any direct match from Günthermann either, with the closest being the poolplayer, which resembles quite well in some parts.
Well, it works
But I still have no idea who made it
Lovely!
The way it works, I don't think that there were any pins or skittles (I have seen a similar "Kegelbahn" in a friend's collection) involved, but the different holes perhaps had different values assigned - if the whole contraption does not just serve our simple joy in watching the balls run and being caught up again!
Thanks for sharing the video - and Merry Christmas!
A very cool accessory for sure.
Thanks for the video.
Sorry, I am no help on the ID.
