- Made in two models: 5 balls for 1 cent, or 10 balls for 5 cents. This pin table has a solid walnut cabinet with detachable legs. Game advertised as 24 inches long, 16 inches wide, and 36 inches high on its legs, weighing 34 lbs.
- ipdb.notes
- This pin table may be incorrectly identified as "Comet Ball Jr." in other resources.
This game was advertised by the manufacturer as being the same as the counter game Field Manufacturing Corporation's 1932 'Golden Comet Ball' but coming with detachable legs. Typically, it would be the legless version of a game that would have the "Junior" appellation suffixed to its name, as in "Comet Ball Jr.". In the ad shown here, the manufacturer clearly points out that these detachable legs convert the counter top version to a small pin table, a "junior table".
The playfields of both versions show the same words 'Golden Comet Ball'.
