- ipdb.notes
- In his book Pinball 1 - Illustrated Historical Guide to Pinball Machines Volume 1, Dick Bueschel stated that the name of this game was the first use of the name "Pin Ball" for a coin-operated playfield game.
The Automatic Age ad in this listing depicts a Kew-Pin-Ball game. The Billboard ad has text for Kew-Pin-Ball but inexplicably shows a game with the name "Cue-Pin-Golf" with a slightly different cabinet front end, more resembling the game pictured in a different Billboard ad found in Karom Golf Table Corporation's 1931 'Karom Golf'. Interestingly, both Billboard ads appeared within pages of each other in the same issue dated May 23, 1931.
