    ipdb.notes
    The game pictured in Gottlieb's flyer has their famous phrase on the backglass: Amusement Pinballs, as American as Baseball and Hot Dogs! However, it does not appear on any of the examples of this game that we have seen. We previously showed a date for this game of December 1959. An article in The Billboard Jan-11-1960 page 72 stated that this game was shipped to Gottlieb distributors the week before. We found no references of this game in the December 1959 issues of Billboard or Cash Box.
