OT Does anyone remember this game from the 1970's?

I know this is very off topic but I thought someone here might be able to help me. I was going through some old photos and came across this game I am trying to identify. The picture is from around 1973. It is the round plastic game with the red bottom. It has a button on the bottom that you would press and it would pop up a ball and try to get it to land on one of the three stands. It was a fairly popular game for a short while. I thought the game was called popup but I could be wrong. I found no reference anywhere with that name. Thanks for any help. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

    I remember it called Pop Up as well. Just did a quick google and no luck.

    I am not sure about the game but is that an ash tray in the front? It sure looks like one my parents had. Does anyone remember the game "The Green Ghost"? That was a neat game with glow in the dark pieces. I sure wish I had some of those games from when I ws a kid.

    There are still a few people around these parts that have those... Not my cup of tea and knowing a few of the folks, it's not something I'd want to walk in on or find on the Rex Ryan alt site...

    Yes, that was an ashtray. In the full picture my mother has a cigarette in her hand and I have a Baltimore Colts shirt on. Unfortunatley, my parents smoked until the end.
