News artical... New York, March 19, 1949 Koeppel distributing, outlet for music and game equipment, has been appointed metropolitan area distriburor for the coin opperated pool-type game "52" manufactured by the Paul Boizelle corp. With a mechanical ball release, said to have approval of the city license dept. The game combines the elements of poker play with pool. Balls are directed by cues to holes in the rear of the playing field, each carring a playing card designation. There are 52 holes arranged in 4 tiers. 10 balls are offered for each coin, allowing 2 players to compete for high poker hands. The game is 5 1/2 feet long, 27 inches wide and weighs 195#. Koeppel is offering it at $179. It looks like a Skeeball game. Any other info or PICTURES ? Thanks

we have at our auction a machine as u describe, the playing field is green as a pool table, you get ten balls for a nickle, i dont believe the upper field has playing cards, but instead has different points rated by the higher up the hole the more points. the owner told us someone on the internet said that these were made in 1910 but the chassis is more like something made in the forties. if you have a picture i would like to compare it with the vendor we have thank you dennis davis kachina_flats@yahoo.com

i happen to own one of these machines and would be interested in selling it if anyone is searching to purchase one the playing field is the green felt while the upper deck has the poker cards values per each opening, making it the poker/billiards combination. i have attached a picture. Email me if you would like to discuss some type of sale.
