About This Machine

The 1955 Twin Bill, designed by Wayne Neyens with art by Roy Parker, is an electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Company (model 98) in January 1955, with 800 confirmed units produced. By this point Gottlieb was a well-established maker of EM pinball, having produced EM games since the 1930s.

The Twin Bill features two flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, and two gobble holes, a feature set typical of mid-1950s Gottlieb single-player games. Its art is characteristic of Gottlieb's style during this period.

With a relatively low confirmed production run of 800 units, the Twin Bill is a comparatively scarce Gottlieb machine, of interest to collectors researching the company's mid-1950s single-player output.
