I believe that particular machine was made in the late 30's maybe early 40's at the same time the Evan's Bang Tails was made as well as other "Flasher" gaming devices, called Flashers as they did not have spinning reels but used flashing lights to denote winners and they do have some similarities to the early pinball market as they use a lot of the same components, solenoids, steppers, cloth wrapped wire, Etc.
