Up and Up

"Up and Up" is a rare pinball machine manufactured by J.H. Keeney and Company Incorporated in May 1939, from a Chicago-based company that operated from 1934 to 1964. As a Flipperless electro-mechanical (EM) pinball, "Up and Up" reflects gameplay mechanics typical of the years just before flippers were introduced to the industry.

The machine's features include five balls per play, a generous quantity for its time, and 15 spring bumpers that add excitement as players navigate the playing field. The backglass depicts the 1939 New York World's Fair, tying directly into its theme.

The theme of "Fair - Carnival - Happiness" reflects the machine's intended setting: the joyous atmosphere of a carnival or fairground, reinforced by its World's Fair backglass art. As a surviving example of J.H. Keeney and Company's late-1930s output, "Up and Up" holds a place in the history of the game, making it a coveted find among collectors and enthusiasts.
