ABOUT

The backglass carries Gottlieb's famous phrase: Amusement Pinballs, as American as Baseball and Hot Dogs! It also shows the more familiar part of the literary observation "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone." which is from the poem "Solitude" by American poet and journalist Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919). Sir John Falstaff was a character in Shakespeare's plays "King Henry IV" and "The Merry Wives of Windsor". We previously showed a date for this game of October 16, 1957. The new date is per Gottlieb documentation.
