    ipdb.notes
    It is likely this game was made by J H Singer and not Montague Redgrave. This is suggested because the pattern at the bottom of the playfield is not like Redgrave's design. Also, Redgrave put his name on the back of his games yet it does not appear on this one. The back of this game does state that it was patented May 10, 1898 which interestingly is also the date that Redgrave patented his Integrated Shooter, seen here. It is known that Singer and Redgrave would use each other's patented features, by agreement.
