    ipdb.notes
    We previously listed this game as 'Twenty-One' dated May 1948. The earliest reference we found was a manufacturer's ad in The Billboard, Apr-24-1948 page 127, where it states that this game was "especially designed and built for 21 or bust territory". The ad stated "4 ways for conversion" but we do not know what this means. The ad is one of only two ads we found for this game and both are presented in this listing. Price when new was $174.50 bought direct from factory.
