About This Machine
The Longchamp, manufactured by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in 1940, is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine from the pre-war era of ESCO's long production history (the company operated from 1932 to 1957).
Little specific information survives about Longchamp's gameplay mechanics, artwork, or theme, which is common for many lesser-documented machines from this period of the industry.
While details remain scarce, Longchamp represents ESCO's ongoing production of EM machines in the years just before the outbreak of World War II curtailed the American pinball industry's activity.
