- IPDB The Billboard ad from 1936 shown below was reprinted from its own 03-28-1931 issue. This reprint includes the claim that the original ad was the first pin game advertisement to appear in any magazine. We include an Automatic Age article from February 1932 which indicates the manufacturer of this game was Midway Pattern Company of Chicago and that the In and Outdoor Games Company only marketed this game "since it was produced". Yet, we also show an ad from the same issue of that magazine where In and Outdoor Games clearly label themselves as manufacturer, even if their reference to their factory could be explained as a marketing reference to Midway's factory. Pictured here are two different cabinet fronts for this game. Based on the dates of the ads shown in this listing, the version advertised first (Mar-28-1931) had a coin drop on the top and the external ball trough on the front. The September 1931 ad and the 1932 ads presented a version with a coin slide on the front and the ball trough on the cabinet right side. It could be assumed one version replaced the other, but a 1933 ad again shows the first version. With either style, the player manually transfers each ball from the trough to the feeder hole on the top right side of the cabinet so that it falls in place in front of the ball shooter. At the rear of the cabinet is an alternate feeder hole to insert the ball into play at the top of the playfield, directly above five pins there, arranged as a pocket. The ball lands in this pocket, then the player operates a knob at the rear of the cabinet to lower these five pins into the playfield, releasing the ball into play. The bagatelle version is In and Outdoor Games' 1932 'Whoopee Game'. used
