- IPDB The manufacturer advertised this game as the one word "Zipper" even though the playfield also displays the word "Skill" directly underneath. A coin view window on the back of the game allows the location to see what coin was last inserted in the drop chute. Each coin inserted by the player operates a lever to push the playfield pins back, releasing the balls to the player, and releases the previously-viewed coin to fall into the coin box. The new coin then stops in front of the coin view window. The game shown here had its view window covered by a small square of tin and the gum drawer was painted shut, probably when the entire cabinet was repainted orange which is not its original color. The game was found mounted to a round heavy gumball machine cast iron base pipe stand, but still had the four little rubber feet for counter top use. This is a 5-ball game which means no shots can be wasted to obtain five-in-a-line. Binks Industries, Inc.'s 1954 'Whiz-Bowler' is the same in size and style except the playfield layout is different and 10 balls are used. According to the Guide to Vintage Trade Stimulators & Counter Games, Mel Binks started his company in 1954. used
