IPDB Available Williams documentation include an undated list compiled by Steve Kordek where he writes a date of 1956 for this game. A typewritten Williams list dated January 1990 shows a date of June 4, 1957. This 1957 date is supported by handwritten dates found on two original drawings from the manufacturer (both not shown here). The playfield drawing has a date of 1/4/57, revised 2/13/57, and has the signed initials HEW. The shuffle board drawing has a date of 1/4/57, and has the signed initials HEW. Both drawings carry the incorrect model number of 183 but that can be attributed to the fact that Harry Williams sent his designs to Chicago from another state where he lived and would not necessarily be current with all activity at the Chicago facility. The model number 147 would have been assigned in 1956 so it appears this game took over a year to design. The playfield on the drawings is of a 25-hole bingo playfield and precisely matches the photographs shown here of the Model 147 Yukon bingo game. used
