ipdb.notes
IPDB Same game as O. D. Jennings' 1935 'Improved Sportsman ("Sportsman")' except the playfield art is a fishing scene and not a hunting scene. At the very top of playfield is a depiction of Mark Twain's Huck Finn instead of a hunter pointing a rifle. The styled legs on the one example pictured here are probably original but we have no other examples or manufacturer's picture ads of this Huck Finn version with which to compare. The Encyclopedia of Pinball Volume 2, page 73 indicates that this Huck Finn version was out by the spring of 1935 along with a non-payout version, O. D. Jennings' 1935 'Sportsman (Non-payout)'. used
