Fields Sunny Boy, 1932
Firstly, what an incredible little machine this is! If anyone has any old advertisements for it, I’d love to see them please.
Standing at just 16 inches, it’s a miniature two-jacks machine.
I’ve been digging into its history, and while many people mention 1927-28, I discovered an advertisement from April 1932 from Field announcing "Sunny Boy," described as a new miniature two-jacks machine with a ball gum attachment. So I believe it's from 1932?
One particularly interesting detail I came across in a COCA write-up is that it features an adjustable pinboard, allowing the operator to modify the difficulty—ranging from relatively easy to nearly impossible to win.
Priced at $19.50 or $15.50 on C.O.D., and available in both 1-cent and 5-cent versions, it was quite an affordable machine for its time.
