"Corinthian" 15

The "Corinthian" 15, manufactured by Witzig's Limited of England, is a rare and intriguing example of early mechanical pinball machines. As a Pure Mechanical (PM) cue-game Bagatelle, it belongs to a category of games that predates modern electromechanical pinball, reflecting the pioneering, hands-on design approach of its era.

Gameplay on the "Corinthian" 15 is characterized by its use of a small cue stick to shoot metal balls into brass cups, a unique feature that sets it apart from later electromechanical pinball machines. The hinged compartment at the bottom for holding and catching the balls adds an element of manual dexterity and challenge to the gameplay experience. Measuring 30 inches by 15 1/2 inches, this compact machine is a testament to the ingenuity of its designers.

Unfortunately, very little information is available about the "Corinthian" 15's design, art, or theme. Its lack of distinctive artwork and unclear historical context make it difficult to pinpoint any notable aspects beyond its mechanical innovations. Nonetheless, as a rare surviving cue-game Bagatelle, the "Corinthian" 15 remains an interesting piece of pinball history for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
