~1933 菓子販賣機付玉運び機 (ball carrier with confectionery machine) by 日本娯楽機製作所 (Nippon Amusement Machine Manufacturing)

Name: 菓子販賣機付玉運び機 (ball carrier with confectionery machine)
Year: ~1933 
Company: 日本娯楽機製作所 (Nippon Amusement Machine Manufacturing)

This is one of the machines featured in the famous 日本娯楽商報 catalogue.  The actual paper catalogue is exhibited by Kaichi Endo in the 1992 TV program "TVムック故郷は欧州　意外なパチンコ進化論".

The TV footage zooms in and gives us some detail that the scan available online does not.

A photograph of this machine is republished in the Kazuo Sugiyama book, ものと人間の文化史 188 玉ころがし by 杉山 一夫 (Cultural History of Things and Humans 188 Rolling Balls by Kazuo Sugiyama).

The 1933 photograph is the earliest instance I have seen for this game, thus ~1933.

This style of gameplay was resurrected in 1980 by 友栄 (UA) for the game たまあけゲーム (Tamaake Game).
