- One of the "Aristocrat" series of games.
According to the Billboard article shown here, this game began shipping in November 1937. Two picture ads, both presented here and dated two weeks apart, first showed the game having a dark playfield then showed the game having a lighter playfield with thin stripes. We don't know if two playfields were produced in that short period of time or if perhaps the first ad was made before the playfield art was finalized in production.
We previously identified this game as a payout machine but the pictures do not show a payout drawer or cup on the cabinet front. The Billboard article references a "register to protect the operator from unethical locations." This means a meter is installed in the game to allow operator tracking of location payouts rather than take only the word of the location owner, an arrangement used when a game does not itself have a mechanism for coin or token payout.
Both picture ads refer to a "visible Payout Register" which suggests it's visible to the location owner and not just to the operator who, in other games, would have to look inside the game to read it. We don't know where on this game this register is located.
