Rebound (Junior)

The Rebound (Junior) pinball machine, manufactured by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in December 1934, is a licensed, smaller version of California Games, Incorporated's 'Rebound' from the same year.

Gameplay on the Rebound (Junior) offers 10 balls for five cents, in keeping with electro-mechanical machines of its era. The game was advertised at 19 inches by 38 inches, a notably compact size.

Two patents are associated with the machine: Patent #1,966,134 (a coin chute attachment, filed November 1933 and granted July 1934 to Bruno Radtke) and Patent #1,973,814 (a game apparatus, filed May 1934 and granted September 1934 to Claude R. Kirk). A related machine worth noting is Joseph Schneider's 1935 'Kick-Back'. The Rebound (Junior) offers a glimpse into the licensing and variant-production practices common in the early years of coin-operated pinball.
