weird spring

[just frank slots]

Here is something interesting... I found this weird spring, how old is it and who made it...
I am also asking a "CoinOPCollectorForum.com" come out with a new category named "what is it?" for people like me who doesn't know what these parts are for... Thank you...

This appears to me to be the springs used on Bally bingo pinball and horse race pinball games to define the edges of the playfield. I believe that United was another manufacturer of those biingo pinball games, back in the day. This was from the 40's to the mid 60's. The playfield on the bingo games had either 25 holes on the early games or 20 holes on the later games. The objective, at the beginning was to line up three to five numbers in a row or four corners on the back glass. I have three of these that that payout from the game.
