Odd Ball

The 1938 Daval Manufacturing Co.'s Odd Ball is a flipperless electromechanical (EM) pinball machine from September 1938. As with other games of its era, players relied on plunging and table positioning rather than player-controlled flippers, which did not appear in pinball until nearly a decade later.

Odd Ball features 12 spring bumpers, adding an extra layer of challenge to gameplay, and offered five balls for five cents — a notable value proposition for players at the time compared to other machines.

No information is available on the machine's theme or designer. Daval Manufacturing Co.'s production run was relatively short-lived (1934-1939), which contributes to the general scarcity of its titles today.
