1941 JIGGER ARCADE AMUSEMENT GAME - BLAKE MFG CO

I picked up a nice game today at auction. It is a 1941 drop coin amusement arcade game called Jigger, made by Blake Mfg Co out of Holly, MI and released in September of that year. Blake is attributed to 4 amusement games made in 1941 and 1942. The other games were called Jumper (10/1941), V (10/1941) and HU-LA (2/1942). The top of the Jigger case is stamped 3100 Brown Mfg Co - Detroit. I have no idea how Brown Mfg Co would have been associated with the game. In another odd note, a company named Planet Mfg Co out of Detroit is also named as a maker of the Hu-La and V games. The Hu-La game is almost identical to Jigger, except that it has one knob instead of 2 and it's name was written on the side of the case. Here is a picture of a trade ad for HU-LA

A vendor could pick up a Jigger game for between $5-7 in 1942. Not long after 1942, I doubt they were available from distributors.
The object of the game is to drop a penny in and use the two knobs to rotate the Hula girl back and forth dropping the penny from level to level. If the penny falls off, you get the points assigned to that level. If you get the coin all the way to the bottom, you get 500 pts and the penny would be visible to the vendor to win a prize. The vendor would then press the tiny button that is below the window and it would drop the coin into the coin deposit box inside the game. It measures 16" tall x 10" wide x 7" deep from the end of the handles. I've listed the game on E-bay as I do not collect anything. But, if I did, this is one that I would have kept.
