Mam'selle

Mam, manufactured by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in August 1947, is a flipperless, electro-mechanical single-player game built around a 'Girls - Women' theme. Its artwork and silkscreening were produced by the Advertising Posters Company of Chicago, as documented in a period Billboard advertisement.

Mam's gameplay is built around 14 passive bumpers, three kick-out saucers, and one kick-out hole. The top two kick-out saucers create what the manufacturer called a 'cross action' effect, using what it termed 'magnetic holes' to kick the ball back and forth between them.

Little further information exists on the machine's designer or the specific inspirations behind its artwork. Nonetheless, Mam remains an intriguing artifact of late-1940s flipperless pinball, offering insight into the gameplay mechanics and theming conventions of the era.
