Teezer

The Teezer, manufactured by Star Machine Manufacturing of Bronx, New York in June 1933, is a rare example of a Pure Mechanical (PM) pinball machine -- a pre-electromechanical, single-player game built entirely from mechanical components, predating both electro-mechanical scoring and flippers by well over a decade.

As with most Pure Mechanical machines of the early 1930s, gameplay would have relied on the player launching balls into a scoreable playfield without powered flippers, which had not yet been invented. Little further detail about Teezer's specific layout, designer, or notable features has been documented.

The Teezer's age and mechanical simplicity make it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians studying pinball's earliest pre-electric era, well before the game as we know it today took shape.
