Cabinet measured 32 inches long, 15 1/2 inches wide, and 12 inches high.
    ipdb.notes
    This appears to be a copy of Gravatt's 1932 'Double Shuffle' or Hercules Novelty's 1932 'Double-Shuffle (Junior)'. This game is unique from those games because the escutcheons for the flipper handles are round, not oval, and there is a bubble level positioned between them. There is no name on the upper playfield (or anywhere else). In the lower playfield is a round silver metal object, perhaps plugging an undesired playfield hole, but the owner of this game did not respond to inquiry about this.
