Finance

Finance, manufactured by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company and dated April 30, 1936, is a single-player electromechanical pinball machine from the company's early catalog. Records confirm 362 units were produced.

As with other pinball machines from the mid-1930s — over a decade before the flipper was introduced in 1947 — Finance's gameplay would have relied on bumpers, targets, and skillful plunging and nudging rather than player-controlled flippers.

Little further documentation survives about Finance's specific theme, artwork, or designer. Still, with a confirmed production run of 362 units, it stands as a documented, if little-known, entry in Chicago Coin's early history as one of the longest-running names in pinball manufacturing.
