- ipdb.notes
- A Billboard ad (shown here) from Feb-29-1936, page 95, shows a different playfield design than all other ads and pictures that we have seen of this game. It has two center habitrails, not one, and has six kickers (specifically, two kickers and four kick-out holes). The playfield shows 10 balls on it. The upper playfield art shows the name 'Ginger' inside a large inverted triangle. Inexplicably, prior and subsequent issues of this Billboard ad show the single habitrail version as pictured in this listing.
It would appear that the 10-ball two-habitrail game was built first then was updated to the 8-ball single habitrail version with three more kickers and more sophisticated artwork, even though the text for the ads was not updated and continued to refer to a quantity of "6 kickers" and, in the case of one ad (not shown here), still indicated the game was 10-ball play.
Both versions were advertised with the coin slide positioned to the left of the coin door. We note the game pictured here has the coin slide on the coin door itself with the coin view window and tilt cup having changed places. The metal baffle under the playfield shows the mechanical bar for the coin slide to press against and the one that resets the tilt cup do not look modified, indicating it came from the factory like this.
If anyone has access to the "dual habitrail" version of this game to make photographs and/or can provide manufacturer documentation for either version, please contact us.
