~1938 最新式野球ゲーム (state-of-the-art baseball game)

Name: 最新式野球ゲーム (state-of-the-art baseball game)

Year: ~1938 

Manufacturer: unknown, maybe 日本娯楽機製作所 (Japan Amusement Machine Mfg. Co., Ltd.)

This machine is partially a copy of the 1934 USA machine World's Series by Rock-ola.

1934 World's Series by Rock-ola

Look closely and you will see the Japanese machine has a rotating disc on the playfield, the same as World's Series

World's Series uses a mechanical counter for the outs but it appears the Japanese version uses playfield troughs:

These are similar to the playfield troughs we see in Base Game - 高級 野 球 ゲーム (Luxury field game).

The Japanese game has another player on the left-hand side where the OUT counter on World's Series would be.

This is another game where I think it was made in Japan, based off the popular design from the USA.  I have no knowledge of Rock-Ola ever licensing their games to Japan, and lots of history of Rock-ola is quite well known.
