It has two award ladders. Two "auto-shooters" located between the flippers propel the ball towards this target.

Design by:

Ed Krynski

Art by:

Roy Parker

Notes:

The manufacturer refers to the center target as a "swinging target" on the game flyer but it performs like a snap target.

George Bernard Shaw's 1912 play 'Pygmalion' enjoyed success on Broadway as 'My Fair Lady' from 1956 to 1962 and as a Hollywood musical in 1964, winning an Academy Award for Best Picture. 'Mayfair' was based on this popular movie.

The artwork on this June 1966 game is identical to both Hyde Park, June 1966, for Italy and Hyde Park, August 1966, for USA. Together, they represent artist Roy Parker’s last games. They were released a year after his death.

We previously showed a date for this game of July 1966. The new date is per Gottlieb documentation.
