Mine was white, then blue after an Earl Scheib-esque cheap paint job.

"Quote" American Machine and Foundry Company (AMF, then a maker of machinery for the bakery, tobacco and apparel businesses) purchased the patents to Gottfried Schmidt's automatic pinspotter, and by late 1952, production model pinspotters were introduced. No longer did a proprietor have to rely on "pinboys.".

You see there was a connection to Harley Davidson motorcycles!!

Brownies can be dangerous here in Colorado. A lot of jokes about our recent baked goods and candies.
