I've seen this one many times, but I don't think I've ever had one on any game I ever bought.

Quoted from Dono:Love to see international labels... nice ones from France... magnifique!!! Le mieux!!!
Like my friend LorenZ, I realy love this thread ! So I opened a similar one on FlipJuke : https://www.flipjuke.fr/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=138914
Lots of French labels there... 
Green Lane, PA
Quoted from Runbikeskilee:Almost forgot this one which is hidden away on the upper L corner of one of my machines.
Folks from the Wash DC area may remember this vendor, who made a business out of selling machines to individuals, until they closed down a while back.

I bought my first machine from Alex Paradis, service TECH at Home Amusements back in 1986... they had a ton of games in their show room, and did a lot of repair in their Rockville facility as well. I was looking for a specific game (WMS Gulfstream), and Alex stated he had the body but couldn't find the head... he offered a discount if I could find the head in the cramped and super stacked space upstairs... took about an hour to locate it in 120 degree heat, but in the end I had a nice Gulfstream delivered to my town home in Old Town Alexandria and its been in my collection, set up and playing ever since! I believe Alex is living the dream in CA now.
Thanks for sharing your sticker!

Good story Don.
I bought the machine with the Home Amusement Co sticker from a guy who lived in a house located between Silver Spring & Adelphi, MD. His kids had moved out and he was preparing to move back to his home state and the machine didn't work, but I could see it was in awesome condition. The sellers house was built in 1963 and he showed me the entrance to the bomb shelter that was buried under the house, courtesy of the Cuban missile crisis; Remnant of history. Seller told me that another guy had called and offered more money after I had already arranged to come by, but he was sticking with the original deal. I was happy to get the machine.
Quoted from jrpinball:This card was in a Williams "Dealer's Choice" I once owned. I printed correct cards for it, and removed this one.
From the same operator than you , GA Jeux in France. I found this decal on a Strike & Spare Bally :

love the Bardahl sticker. Takes me back to my days as a little kid watching Bill Muncey pilot the Miss Bardahl on Lake Washington at Seafair back in the 60's and 70's.

There’s a pinball joint in Seattle called Add-A-Ball. They used the old Bardahl logo to spell add a ball, but got sued lol. Kind of a bummer since I don’t think they’re around anymore
Quoted from RWH:I have been told that they are in fact one and the same depending on how far down Pleasant Gap you go, it becomes intercourse.
If you take a wrong turn, you can wind up in Blue Ball.
Quoted from electricsquirrel:If you take a wrong turn, you can wind up in Blue Ball.
And if you can't find Pleasant Gap, there's always Bird In Hand!
Quoted from jrpinball:And if you can't find Pleasant Gap, there's always Bird In Hand!
I was waiting for that one!
Quoted from jrpinball:Yeah, I've had a few STP stickers adorning games I've picked up over the years.
Not operator stickers, but.....I give you the "Nascar" Bowling Queen.

I can match that with a Star Jet cab.
I'm sure there's many with stickers, but haven't checked
the ones in the game room yet. Probably a few there..

Starting to look like one of those old steam trunks people took around the world with stickers for each stop!

Ideal is still in business here in St. Louis. I have bought many games from them over the years.
Quoted from DennisDodel:[quoted image]
See, they used to use their hands to hold them up!

Wow! That’s pretty cool. Great that they’re still around. There is still a Cory if STL rag on it from 1979.
Quoted from dudah:Not an operator, but Bally Wulff (German subsidiary?) on my reimport Black Rose.
Never seen one before, not sure how they got away ripping off the Harley Davidson logo![quoted image]
Bally Wulff was the eventual name of Gunter Wulff Manufacturing of Germany that Bally acquired in the late 1960's. A maker of Wall mounted slot machines at the time. They also distributed all forms of coin-operated equipment.
They exist today but have been completely separated from Bally Technologies/Scientific Games for about fifteen years now.
The decal you possess is from one of the distribution locations in Germany.
Today Bally Wulff makes many forms of gaming equipment and player regulation systems. They moved into a modern assembly plant and offices in Berlin nearly two years ago.
I've got one of those decals on a Monopoly wall mounted Bally Wulff slot machine.

I can match both of you, not really operator decals but stickers none the less. It came from a guy that owned a bicycle shop here in town.

Great history lesson, thank you!! I checked out their website and was surprised to see they were still around! Very interesting. I wonder how many people ripped off that sticker. For being a re-import, my Black Rose is in excellent shape!

Oof! Even if the original artwork was trashed it still would've looked better than that! And white?!?! C'mon, respect the Sorcerer.
