O don't see this listed in the data base.
I wanted to fix it up, but never found the time. Looks complete except for the playfully glass. Bottom of xab is rotted. Could be rebuilt, but probably going to be a parts machine. It's in a basement storage that I no longer have. Needs moved within 2 weeks or probably will get junked by building owner.

This game is actually called "Spelling Bee" from 1956 and its sister game "Crosswords" from the year prior in 55. They are both exactly the same Bally game. Just two different color women in the back glass. Your game appears to have the lady in red version which closely resembles the original. The one you have is Bally because the cabinet and playfield are both correct. The back glass however I'm pretty sure is a generic reproduction for either game title, but since it is not an official licensed by "Bally" back glass, the company that made this reproduction BG, "Pennsylvania Vending co" made the name into "School Days". The words "Single Coin" at the bottom also contributes to the generic reproduction as these words usually follow many unlicensed back glasses.
