The earliest mention we have found for this conversion kit is in Victory Game's ad in Billboard 09/09/1944 p80. It states:

Has thousands for High Score and numerous other ways to win. And here is what you get � A New 12-Color PLAY BALL Score Glass, New Designs for the Playing Field.

Their last Billboard ad for this kit was 10/05/1946 p123, when prices were raised for all of their kits from $9.50 each to $12.50 each.
