1928 POPULAR GAMES INC. HOOT-MON GOLF

Hoot-Mon Golf was manufactured by Popular Games Inc. of Chicago, IL in 1928. As scarce as hens' teeth, (less than ten known examples). Hoot-Mon Golf is the only known machine that Popular Games Inc. ever produced. It is widely believed that the Chester Pollard Amusement Co. bought them out along with the patent rights to the machine in the late 1920s. Produced in three floor model cabinet variations (A, B, C). This particular example is the cabinet A floor model. A mechanical game of skill, utilizing electricity only for the purpose of illuminating the interior of the cabinet. The Hoot-Mon Golf was one of the early arcade machines located at the Magic Kingdom's arcade on Disneyland's famous Main Street. Hoot-Mon Golf operates on a nickel. Once the nickel is inserted, the patron pushes the plunger inward to release three small steel balls. The manikin golfer wearing his original red sweater with golf club in hand is controlled by two levers, located on the front of the cabinet. The left lever is to position the golfer for the desired angle to aim the shot and the right lever is used to swing the manikin golfer's golf club. The right lever also controls the speed of the golfers swing by the speed in which the patron pushes the lever. The golf course features three holes with a sculpted playfield and a beautifully painted golf themed backdrop. Par for the three-hole course is five strokes. A five-stroke penalty is applied for putting the ball in the lake hole and a five-stroke penalty for is applied for hitting the ball into the wrong hole. Extremely challenging golf game of skill and exceptionally entertaining. Housed in an investment grade walnut cabinet with uniquely wide curved legs. Very similar of the Chester Pollard Play Golf, except Hoot-Mon Golf is more scarce and more challenging to play because of sculpted playfield. An original blend of remarkable furniture and functional art. The only portion of this machine that has been restored is the walnut cabinet, while still using the original cabinet. The rest is entirely un-restored yet repaired using all original parts. I've been thankful during this isolation period the last five or six weeks to be able to escort this extraordinary machine back to life. ​The Torrence Collection has a long and prominent history with the rarest of antiquities spanning more than twenty-five years.
