~1920s one sen pachinko by unknown

Name: one sen pachinko (real name unknown)
Year: ~1920s
Company: unknown 

This early machine uses a large ball, not a small pachinko ball. There are a handful of British machines that use this size of ball.  Note the size of the hole comes out of.

This machine was on display at the Pachinko Museum (パチンコ博物館).

I have encountered a few other machines with a similarly large ball, but even these are extremely obscure (presumed) British games.

Each of these pockets has 3 horizontal bands and one center vertical band.  I believe the British machines are late 1920s, though it's hard to say for sure since documentation is scarce.  While I am leaving this machine as ~1920s, it might even be early 1930s.
