    ipdb.notes
    This listing is the Free Play (replay) version of this game. The novelty (non-replay) version is Chicago Coin's 1939 'Topper'. Some 'Topper' backglasses carry the words "Made in The United States of America" in the lower right corner. More research is needed to determine if those glasses are unique to just one of the two versions of this game. The first picture ad in Billboard is dated May-20-1939, page 86. The cabinet pictured in this listing has different art than the game in the ad. The Free Play version has plugs under the playfield for the operator to set which score thresholds pay out in free plays. Inside the coin door, the serial number is followed by the letters 'FP'.
