Re Ideal’s game, it can be hard to find (happy to say I have one), but in case you’re not aware, NECA came out with a 50th Anniversary edition that, while not the same, does include very similar packaging and is a nice collectible in its own right.

Not the same because NECA went with a more realistic shark than the cartoony one Ideal used. Well worth checking out…

"Mr. Jaws", by novelty "break-in" master Dickie Goodman, was a top 10 Billboard hit when first released in 1975.

I loved how you wove childhood memories with games, rides, and collectables. I read Jaws and many other Benchley books in my younger days, wow!
