I was offered a 1953 Williams Deluxe Special Baseball Game, I have no
idea what this game is worth. Owner says it in in great shape and
everything work. Is this a collectable game? Worth owning? any help
would be appreciated.

Kevin - Any pitch and bat with a man run unit that is in good working
order is worth at least $1000.
Check ebay. Not very many go for under that. If the backglass is in
bad shape, repro's are available for a few hundred. Good negotiating
factor.

The Internet Pinball Database says it's from 1954, and there are no
pics of this "Special Deluxe Baseball," so it might be somewhat rare.

Is it similar to this I wonder?

If so, could be quite pricey, especially any time the glass is similar
to that of a juke, and from the 50's.
If it's complete and working, that's a big plus. Parts for these
pitch and bats can be hard to find.

Consider the shape of the playfield and the cabinet especially when
deciding on a price to offer. "great shape" on a playfield can be
quite debateable, but if you can see the game in person, take it home,
and not rely on shipping it, that's a big plus.
