Quoted from OLDPINGUY:I remember a chat with Dick Bueschel, when I was scanning old Billboard Magazines for him in the NY Library, that we had seen several variations of playfields on the Watling Round game series. Some were wood playfields as well as cast.
Not sure why, or prototypes.....but not all were in billboard ads..He kept calling them "Daisy games", as
a loose reference. My mind thinks 5-6.....
Do you know how many pins Watling made?
I believe Dick was probably using the term "Daisy" to apply to all of the Square Games with round playfields. The game called Daisy was built by the Peo company and is indeed one of these style games. Here is a list of all of the Square/Round playfield games listed in the IPDB. https://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?ft=square.machine¬es=square.machine&bool=or&sortby=date&searchtype=advanced
There are only two Watling pins listed in the data base.
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Crude Billboard photo copies in the 70s, and no Internet, made it an interesting chase....
I spent many a day at the main library here copying ads from the Billboard mags on Microfiche. As you probably know, the reproduced photos were very crude and hard to see.
