- ipdb.notes
- Commemorated the Chicago World's Fair of 1933.
The height of this game on its legs was advertised as a "new" 42 inches, which implies a change from any previous Rock-Ola pin game that had legs or came with an optional stand.
Some games pictured in this listing used two bolts to attach each leg to the cabinet, others used only one bolt. We show one image with the leg removed, revealing a single bolt hole with an angled cut to the cabinet's corner edge. Presumably, the leg was keyed to match this angle, although we do not yet have pictures of the inside of the leg to prove this.
According to Dick Bueschel's book Pinball 1, the formal name of this game is the single word 'Jigsaw'. However, it was frequently advertised as 'World's Fair Jigsaw'. The manufacturer advertised it both ways, and also showed a hyphenated spelling of 'Jig-Saw' on the playfield. When variations exist, we often list a game name by how it appears on the playfield, to facilitate its recognition.
