Vanities

Vanities, manufactured by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in February 1947, is an example of early post-World War II electro-mechanical pinball. ESCO was a prominent Chicago-based manufacturer, operating from 1932 to 1957, and produced many machines from this era that are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts today.

Beyond its manufacturer, date, and basic electro-mechanical, single-player format, very little documented information is available about Vanities' specific gameplay features, theme, or artwork. As with many pinball machines from the immediate post-war years, further research and photographic documentation would be needed to fill in these details.

As a relatively obscure entry in ESCO's catalog, Vanities offers an interesting subject for pinball historians and collectors interested in the industry's output during the years just after World War II, even though much about the specific machine remains unknown.
