The backglass carries Gottlieb's famous phrase: Amusement Pinballs, as American as Baseball and Hot Dogs!
In the book Pinballs le temps des flippers, author Jean-Pierre Cuvier shows a close-up of the crowd from two different backglasses to point out that the artwork has been completely redrawn in one of them and is at variance from the glass in the manufacturer's flyer. All of the glasses pictured in this listing agree with the flyer. We don't have an example of the variant glass to show but we do have a close-up image we have labeled as the "Crowd Scene" showing the flyer art. Notice the hat in the woman's hand has its reflective sheen on its upper side and also the man behind her has a red striped shirt. In the variant glass, everyone in the scene looks different but the easiest differences to notice in the variant glass is that the hat has sheen on its bottom half and the man has no red stripes. It's possible there are differences elsewhere on the glass but we don't know. If anyone encounters this variant glass, please contact us and, if possible, photograph the cabinet serial number.
