- IPDB This game is the same in layout and color as Unknown Manufacturer's 'Les �toiles' except that game has a shooter lane to allow the ball to loop 360 degrees around the playfield before entering into play. This is a table top game. The pictures we saw (not shown here) displayed the game in a foldable metal stand (typical for these games) and the owner measured the height of the game on this stand as 94 cm in the front and 100 cm in the rear from which we can derive a 6 cm difference in the game itself. The cabinet's natural wood finish had been painted a robin's egg blue which was wearing off in places. The owner stated a number 351 was stamped on the back of the game but there was no picture of this. This game was located in France. 'La Comete' translates to 'The Comet'. Circa early 1930's. used

- IPDB Operates on francs. Trap holes (10), Free play holes (2). Each trap hole except for the one at the very top of the playfield is curved to hold up to three balls. Each free play hole is marked "A REJOUER". The top trap hole holds only one ball and has a yellow star painted around it. A multicolored comet trail radiates outward from this hole to cover the entire playfield. The name LA COMETE appears on the playfield just below the curved metal upper ball arch. Front of cabinet has a ball shooter on the right side and an escutcheon on the left side having a vertical coin slot above a long push knob, likely for pushing the baffle board at start of play. Cabinet measured 80 cm long and 41 cm wide. Weighs approximately 15 kg. used
