About This Machine

Two Bells is a single-player electro-mechanical machine produced by C & S Novelty in February 1945. It is a World War II-era conversion of Mills' earlier machine 'Owl,' reflecting the wartime practice of retrofitting existing cabinets due to material shortages rather than building entirely new machines.

As a wartime conversion, Two Bells reused mechanical and electro-mechanical components from its donor machine, a common approach among manufacturers during the period of restricted metal and parts availability.

Little else is documented about Two Bells' specific ruleset, artwork, or theme. C & S Novelty is not well recorded in pinball history, making Two Bells a useful, if sparsely documented, artifact for researchers studying wartime pinball production.
