- This counter game could be placed on a light aluminum stand, or mounted on the wall with brackets. The stand and brackets were available from the manufacturer.
The earliest ad we found for this game is in Cash Box, Dec-24-1960 page 83 where it refers to the game as "New". The two Billboard ads from May 1961 each refer to an "Improved" game. We do not know what the improvement is.
The manufacturer, Giepin Associates, Inc. began in 1958 (per Billboard, 08-25-1958 page 78) and was primarily successful in making coffee machines.
