ipdb.notes
IPDB This is a licensed copy of Automatic Amusements' 1935 'Dealer'. In an interview with pinball historian Russ Jensen on March 18, 1978, Harry Williams, founder of Automatic Amusements Company, stated that Bally and Exhibit in a few instances bought the rights from him to manufacture and distribute a few of his designs. Jensen writes that as part of the deal, Bally had to credit Williams as the designer. He doesn�t write that Exhibit had to do the same, but the Billboard ad in this listing does show that credit. A manufacturer name was not found anywhere in or on the three games pictured here. The Instruction Card was printed by Exhibit Press, an unlikely mention if this game was made by anybody else but Exhibit Supply Company. The coin slide indicated patent #1966134 dated July 10, 1934. used
