ipdb.notes
IPDB Manufacturer unknown. There are no markings on this game other than the name on the playfield. Note the similarity to Bally's 1932 'Goofy (Junior)'. 'Goofy' had the original design and was copied extensively, forcing Bally to seek an injunction to stop all of the copycats. Surely this 'Hokum' has to be one of these copies. Bueschel's Encyclopedia of Pinball Vol 1 does list a 'Hokum' counter game made by General Wood Products Company of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, for which we have no confirmed pictures, but he lists it as March 1932, several months before 'Goofy', so either his date is incorrect or that game is a different 'Hokum'. In any case, more information is needed before a manufacturer can be determined for this listing. used
