The Greyhound

The Greyhound is a rare and enigmatic Pure Mechanical tabletop/counter game with an unknown manufacturer, circa the 1930s. Its dog-racing theme and unusual square oak cabinet, measuring just 15 by 15 inches, make it a distinctive if little-documented piece of early pinball-adjacent history.

The game offered 5 balls for just 1 cent, a common low-cost-play approach for the era. Its compact, square format suggests it was designed as a small counter-top amusement rather than a full-size floor machine, likely intended for smaller establishments like bars or shops.

As a Pure Mechanical game, it relied entirely on mechanical means to move the ball, with no electrical or electronic components. Beyond its Sports - Dog Racing theme, specific details of its artwork, designer, and exact production dates remain unknown, leaving The Greyhound an intriguing mystery for collectors and historians of early coin-op amusements.
