Estel Shaffer, known as Pop, was a pharmacist and drugstore owner in 1929 when an operator placed a Billiard Practice skill game on his counter at a penny a play. He soon sold the drugstore and set up the Shaffer Coin Machine Company on First Avenue in Columbus, Ohio, near the company’s current headquarters. A fourth generation of the Shaffer family owns the business today.
