IPDB 1 ball for 5 cents. Turning the front dial handle lifted the ball to the shooter lane. Player shot the ball into play using a small "throwing device" (vertical plunger). Landing the ball into the top center hole paid a prize. Of the thirteen score troughs at playfield bottom, a manufacturer advertisement stated that six were winning pockets. However, close inspection of at least one available image shows there were seven winning pockets. Manufacturer advertised this game as measuring 21 inches long, 15 inches wide, 9 inches high, and weighed 65 lbs when boxed. The cabinet contained a magazine of 250 balls, dispensing one per play. Played balls ended up in a separate area and did not recycle. When all 250 balls had been played, the operator had to open the game and move the played balls back into the first magazine. In models circa 1907 and later, a horizontal, straight shooter rod replaced the smaller vertical plunger. This version was advertised as measuring 21 inches long, 15 inches wide, 10 inches high, and weighing 22 lbs. used
