- ipdb.notes
- Almost identical to Gravatt's 1932 'Double Shuffle' except it uses push rods instead of levers and its playfield was made colorful. According to the Encyclopedia of Pinball Volume 1, Western Mfg. discovered that Gravatt's game wasn't patented, so they improved upon it with this game.
Introduced the same month as Hercules Novelty's 1932 'Double-Shuffle (Junior)'.
Western Manufacturing Company was located at 123-125 N Jefferson St. in Chicago, Illinois, when this game was made.
