    Circa 1947. As far as we know, this backglass artwork did not become a production game, unless the name changed to a game for which we have not yet found its match. We have seen the sea nymph on this backglass appearing in other art. The oldest example we found was on the cover of an undated 32-page pamphlet titled "Nu-Film" and "Blu Film" Stencil Sheet Method for Silk Screen Preparation published by Nu-Film Products Company Inc., a company that was incorporated on September 3, 1946. We don't know when the pamphlet was produced or if the sea nymph on its cover was original art or was copied from another source. Artist Lester Hilbrich (1911-1999) worked for Advertising Posters, Sullivan-Nolan Advertising, and Lions/Bally.
