The Newest 20th Century Game


Skee Ball Alley
This undated photo is hanging on the wall near the pinball machines at the Playland Arcade in Knoebels.  It cost five cents to play.  The sign advertises a $1 prize for achieving the highest score of the day, a Gillette Razor for the highest score of the week, and $100 in gold for a perfect score of 450.

Despite the fact that the photo features three men and a boy, the sign promises that "ladies play it as well as men".
