Mademoiselle

Mademoiselle, designed by Wayne Neyens with art by Roy Parker, is a two-player electromechanical (EM) pinball machine manufactured by Gottlieb starting in November 1959, with 700 units produced. Its 'Pageantry' theme reflects the era's fascination with beauty pageants and spectacle.

Gameplay features six pop bumpers, five passive bumpers, two slingshots, two gobble holes, and a bullseye target. Notably, the machine has no outlanes, requiring players to rely on aim and strategy rather than drain avoidance at the edges of the playfield. When both players match a lit number at the end of the game, they're awarded either 2 or 10 replays, an adjustable operator setting.

The backglass carries Gottlieb's well-known tagline, 'Amusement Pinballs, as American as Baseball and Hot Dogs!' While specific design inspiration beyond the pageantry theme isn't documented, Mademoiselle stands as a solid example of Gottlieb's late-1950s two-player EM output.
