Sally

Sally, manufactured by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company in October 1948, is a notable early electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine. It was announced in Billboard as Chicago Coin's first game to feature passive "tower bumpers" - rubbered rebound switches housed inside cylindrical plastic tubes - a new innovation for the manufacturer at the time.

Sally's gameplay features include two impulse flippers, an early flipper design from the dawn of the flipper era, giving players some control over the ball's trajectory. The machine also has 12 tower bumpers, four rollover buttons, and three kick-out holes, providing ample opportunities for scoring.

The machine's Beach - Happiness - Swimming - Water - Women theme fits the lighthearted, carefree spirit associated with the postwar era. With 1,600 confirmed units produced and little additional documentation surviving about its specific artwork or designer, Sally remains a notable find for collectors interested in Chicago Coin's late-1940s output.
