Speedy

Speedy, manufactured by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in March 1939, is an electro-mechanical pinball machine from the flipperless era. Its existence highlights the growth of the industry during this period, as manufacturers experimented with new features and mechanisms to captivate players.

Speedy boasts a 5-ball novelty play feature, allowing for a unique and dynamic playing experience. A single trap hole adds an element of challenge and strategy to the game. As a flipperless machine, gameplay relies entirely on the table's layout and the skill of nudging or timing rather than flipper control.

Unfortunately, little information is available regarding Speedy's designer or any notable artistic features. Nonetheless, as a product of ESCO's prewar output, it holds interest for historians and enthusiasts seeking to understand the development of early pinball machines.
