- This game is one of five interchangeable playfields having a common cabinet.
The price in 1932 was $12.50 for the cabinet plus one playfield.
Additional interchangeable playfields were $3.00 each.
A collapsible steel stand was $1.50.
Click on the manufacturer�s name in this listing to retrieve a list of the five playfields.
An article in Automatic Age, June 1932, pages 122-123 show pictures of each playfield and the cabinet. It refers to these games collectively under the name 'Variety'. For example, it states, "Variety is the pin game sensation because of its many deluxe features found in few games in its price range." However, other than the text of the article, this name appears nowhere else that we have found thus far. That name cannot be seen on the individual playfields themselves.
Famed artist and author A. Raymond Katz (1895-1974) was a New York muralist and painter of religious art. His work was exhibited in museums and galleries in the USA and abroad.
