Comment
The ABT Manufacturing Corporation started making their "Target Skill" gun games in Memphis Tennessee in 1925. The games were small coutertop size, made with an oak cabinet (later pine), and cast metal gun parts. Gus Adler, Jack Bechtol and Walter Tratsch (hence the initials A.B.T.) started the company.http://www.pinrepair.com/arcade/abt.htm#:~:text=The%20ABT%20Manufacturing%20Corporation%20started,started%20the%20company
