An authentic rarity for vintage toy collectors and football history enthusiasts.
This splendid button-operated table football game is a piece of pre-war Italian toy manufacturing history, produced by the renowned "Brevettato Superga - Pimea" brand between the late 1930s and early 1940s.
Unlike classic post-war rod-operated foosball tables, this model uses an ingenious mechanical system: pressing the numbered metal buttons located behind the goals activates internal springs that pop the individual players onto the pitch to strike the ball.
A true gem of old-fashioned engineering.
