ipdb.notes: IPDB We previously showed a date of August 1947 for this game. The manufacturer indicated in Billboard May-3-1947 page 127 that the game would be announced "in two weeks" and in Billboard May-17-1947 page 121 indicated delivery of their newest games had gone out to distributors. A distributor in Cash Box May-26-1947, page 52 advertised "immediate delivery" of this game. We found no picture ads for this game in either The Billboard or Cash Box during 1947. The game pictured here is located at the Pacific Pinball Museum. The playfield rubber rings may not all be in their correct places. We are seeking pictures of additional examples of this game, either manufacturer ads or your photographs. used
