    ipdb.notes
    No date could be found anywhere on the game pictured here. The earliest reference we have found for this game where it could not be mistaken for O. D. Jennings' 1938 'Super-Charger' was a distributor ad for used games in Billboard Apr-4-1942 page 82. We found no ad or article placed by the manufacturer itself.
