The 1950 text ad shown here is for 'Bridgeball' but references 'Panbridge'.
These two Billboard images are the only two references we found for 'Panbridge'. The article is from 1950 while the picture ad is from 1955. This 5-year gap also occurred in the ads we found for the manufacturer's coin-op version of this game, Culp Products Company's 1950 'Bridgeball (short cabinet bowl model)'.
