1948 Evans Bat A Score Original Flyer
 
1 Attachment(s)
Wanted to share a recent acquisition I got that is really cool. An Original 1948 Evans Bat A Score Flyer. I am assuming they were mainly given out at the 1948 Coin Machine Institute Show held January 19-22, 1948. Though of course probably also given out in other ways.

The Machine itself is very rare and desirable, it goes for exorbitant amounts of money. I'm talking on the low end $30,000 up to a sale of $60,000. (more than most Coin op machines that exist period). The flyer seems to be even rarer than the machine itself as I cant find a single sale or original photo of one online aside from photocopies of one used by coin op websites.

Anyways, just thought this would be cool to share. Id like to find an owner of one of the machines who might like to acquire it one day. But for now I'm thrilled to own it.

That's a cool and very rare flyer!

I love vintage coin ops, but my wife won't let me take over any more space. :D

If you needed more info, there is a poster on youtube named Mike Hasanov who specializes in these games. He has likely touched most of the known copies of this game. Here he is working on one -

I appreciate it! Glad folks enjoy something not so much on the player side and more Americana side.
