    When you get the balls in the holes above the tin litho "safe" doors, and then drop one in the center hole above those two, the doors pop open and you can get a higher score from the holes in the safe! Battery operated, although the game pictured below was converted to line power.
    ipdb.notes
    This game is named after a master burglar and safecracker from the 1909 short story "Alias Jimmy Valentine" by William Sydney Porter (alias O. Henry). A silent movie of the same name followed in 1915, then remade in 1920 and 1928. In February 1936, a month after this game was released, the movie "The Return of Jimmy Valentine" was released.
