Skill Feature
About This Machine
The Skill Feature pinball machine, manufactured by Mills Novelty Company in July 1940, is an electro-mechanical (EM) machine from a company that had been producing pinball and coin-operated equipment since the early 1930s.
Specific details about Skill Feature's gameplay, rules, and objectives have not survived, which is common for many machines of this era. As with other Mills Novelty EM machines, it likely combined mechanical scoring elements with early electrical components, though no confirmed feature list is available.
Skill Feature's significance lies mainly in its status as a product of Mills Novelty Company during the EM era of pinball design. Despite the absence of documentation and historical records, this machine remains an artifact of interest for enthusiasts studying the evolution of electromechanical pinball in the years before flippers were introduced.
