was made by the Shyvers Coin Company in Seatle, Washington
in January, 1934. In fact, the BILLIARD FLASH was shown
in The Coin Slot once before when it was the cover illustration
for the July, 1977, issue. It was one of the pinball games then
being offered in the 1977 Roy Arrington Auction. BILLIARD
FLASH was one ofsix or seven games made by Shyvers in the
"Spirit ofAmerica" line, and was so successful, Shyvers . . .
well, that'spart ofthe story that will appear in the An Illustrated
Price Guide to 100 Most Collectible Pinball Games series of
books now being written by Dick Bueschel. As it looks now, we
hope to have thefirst volume before the end ofthe year, with the
others soon to follow.
AsforA.S.L. Sales, it was a distributorfor the Ohio market.
Distributors often asked to have their names put on machines
when they had large orders. We don't know what the initials
mean.
