    ipdb.notes
    Same playfield as Treff Automaten's 'Treff-Gloria (water skier)' but with a different backglass. We previously listed this game as "Gloria Rennboot" but that is not the name displayed on the game anywhere that we saw. The backglass on this game show a man driving a speedboat in the water. A populated beach is in the background. In the upper backglass, the name 'Treff-Gloria' (hyphenated) is displayed on a large, round aerial balloon. The speedboat also shows this hyphenated name. The playfield shows activities such as swimming, driving, polo, and golf. The lower apron shows the name without a hyphen, as 'Treff Gloria'. We previously showed a date for this game of 1953 but we have no confirmation of that date. Paul Zsolnay's book, Pinball, first published in German in 1992, shows a picture of this game with the man and motorboat on the backglass and captions this picture as "Treff Gloria Rennboot" (Speedboat) made by Treff-Automaten (1953).
