This is a very unusual old German marble game using a spring like metal strip on the right side to shoot the marbles along a wooden ramp into the center of the game which is covered with a felt like material. The marbles then roll into various holes, ending up in trays labeled with different points. The marbles are stored in a little swivel pocket. A colorful paper sticker depicts a little picking apples and reads " Rola" D.R.P. 486405 = Deutches Reitch Patent = German Empire Patent. This charming game sporting three turned legs is in very good condition; there are no cracks or chips or major stains. There is some wear under center mtal divider. Notes: Paten date would be 1927. By Hupfeld - Gebr. Zimmermann, Leipzig.
