For the Australian pinside readers who caught the Paul Hogan "Hoges" doco/telemovie last night and may have spotted an anachronism in the background.

I guess the props master picked it because of the retro theme, without considering any pinball collectors who might be watching.

Setting the scene:
Sydney 1979 - Paul Hogan and his manager John Cornell sit down to have a business meeting with reps from a cigarette manufacturer (with a strangely modern view of Sydney harbour.)

Happy Days set a dangerous precedent with Nip-It

Well obviously Fonzie brought it back from the future with his deux ex "time" machina.

Time travelling pins in American Graffiti, are just as good.

Did Paul promote cigarettes?

Yep, before he got the Australian "throw another shrimp on the barbie" tourism gig.
