GlamorĢGirls
About This Machine
Glamor•Girls, manufactured by Victory Games between 1942 and 1947, is a flipperless electro-mechanical pinball machine produced in December 1944 as a conversion kit for Chicago Coin's 1940 'Sport-Parade.' It was advertised in Victory Games' Billboard ads from December 1944 through the company's final ad in April 1947.
As with other EM machines of its time, Glamor•Girls predates the pinball flipper, which wasn't introduced until 1947 — gameplay instead relied on plunger skill and tilting rather than flipper control. Its theme, an ode to girls and women, set it apart from the nautical and circus themes more common in earlier pinball machines of the period.
Little is known about the machine's designer or specific gameplay mechanics. Nonetheless, Glamor•Girls remains an intriguing artifact of wartime pinball, illustrating how manufacturers like Victory Games repurposed existing playfields into new conversion kits during a period of material scarcity.
