Many bells were removed to make the game quieter in some locations or they were taken out to put in another machine that was missing them. On games where the bell is not mounted to a stepper unit, many had them as a separate assembly.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:1950 was a pivotal year in that it was the year the knocker was introduced and so some titles have them and some don't, and it doesn't seem to quite go in date order.
As far as I know, the knocker was introduced in 1948 as I have had two from that year that have one.
Yes my 1948 Buccaneer has a bonus scoring knocker. Ali Baba's rattled so much, it was silly. One of the reasons I let that game go. There isn't one on Lady Robin Hood so I figured Olde King Cole was the first Gottlieb to have a knocker as the flyer for that game says-
NEW "DRUM-ROLL" SOUND EFFECTS! Same feature advertised on the Ali Baba flyer. I can't tell you when other manufacturers first used a knocker or which game first used it for a replay.
