Rock-Ola
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation was, along with Wurlitzer, a top maker of jukeboxes. The company, which originally made scales and pinball machines, was founded by David Cullen Rockola. The company sold more than 400,000 jukeboxes under the Rock-Ola brand name, which predated the term rock and roll by two decades. Rockola was also the maker of shuffleboard tables from 1948-50. Considered by collectors the Cadillac of shuffleboards due to their Art Deco styling with curving woodwork and lots of chrome, they are highly sought after by players.
Rock-Ola also produced the M1 Carbine .30 Cal rifle for the US Military during WWII.
