Jack 'N Jill was manufactured by Gottlieb in 1948 as part of the 'fairy tale' series - the first games manufactured with flippers.
This game's dominant feature is the amazing artwork.  There are multiple ways to earn replays, and the flippers allow you to move the ball back and forth across the playfield as you descend.
Jack's eyes at the bottom flash when you hit various items rapidly.
The backglass animation is also very cool, and in the style of the other early backglass animations on Gottlieb games.
A great overall package, and I hope to play one again one day!
