- ipdb.notes
- First game pictured was located near Boston, Massachusetts in May 2007. Second game was auctioned in New York. Third game was in Virginia. One owner stated no manufacturer info was anywhere on the outside of the cabinet and did not have a key to look inside. Another owner looked inside and found no markings or information.
The manufacturer may be Giepin Associates, Inc. but we have been unable to confirm this. Giepin started in 1958 and was better known for making coffee machines although we know they did make a counter game, Giepen Associates, Inc.'s 1960 'Skill Cards'.
