About This Machine

Wonderland, designed by Harry Williams with artwork by George Molentin, was manufactured by Williams in April 1955. It's a single-player electro-mechanical machine offering five balls for five cents, a standard pricing model for EM games of the era.

Gameplay features two flippers, three pop bumpers, a kick-out hole, and a gobble hole — a relatively streamlined feature set compared to some of Williams' more elaborate contemporaries, reflecting a clean, straightforward approach to EM design.

Little information survives about Wonderland's specific theme or artwork details beyond Molentin's credit, but as a Harry Williams design from the mid-1950s, it represents a solid example of the company's EM output during a formative period for the pinball industry.
