Advertised as a highly finished red cedar cabinet with natural satin finish, no lacquer. The counter game version is A.B.T.'s 1933 'Horseshoe'. We don't know how the tilt mechanism operates to tilt the game although we can see how it resets at start of game. We also don't know how the two "win" windows on the front locking coin door pay out to the player.
