- IPDB As far as we know, this backglass artwork did not become a production game, unless the name changed to a game for which we have not yet found its match. The woman in the center backglass appeared in color in the painting "Eqypt" by artist Henry Clive (1882-1960). We can't find a date for his painting. The artist dated the backglass drawing as 10-31-47 and the playfield drawing as 11-5-47 (Nov-5-1947). The playfield is a familiar pre-flipper design of this period. Because the first game with electromechanical flippers, Gottlieb's 1947 'Humpty Dumpty', had just hit the market a week before these drawings were completed, it seems likely this pre-flipper design was suddenly unusable for production by Bally. Artist Lester Hilbrich (1911-1999) worked for Advertising Posters, Sullivan-Nolan Advertising, and Lions/Bally. used
