    ipdb.notable_features
    Snap traps (6). Black ebony natural wood inlay cabinet. Game advertised as 36 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 40 inches high. The original model was 10 balls for 5 cents and its totalizer had a patterned casting frame around it. The improved model was 7 balls for 1 cent and had a smooth totalizer frame. The final version in September 1933 had aluminum castings on the playfield shaped as silver trophy cups. This game was an international success and repositioned Genco favorably in the industry.
    ipdb.notes
    An earlier pin game that used metal castings on its playfield is Lundick Mfg., Inc.'s 1932 'The Marble Prince'.
