Skill-Ball

WILLIAMS

Skill-Ball

1961opdb · G5zpL-ME02b

First add-a-ball game from this manufacturer. The original name of this game was 'Add-A-Ball' but was changed during production due to concerns that Gottlieb already had been using that term in their recent extended-play games. See Williams' 1961 'Add-A-Ball'.
