Skill Time

Skill Time, manufactured by J. H. Keeney and Company Incorporated in October 1937, is an electro-mechanical (EM) single-player pinball machine from one of the notable Chicago-based manufacturers of the era.

Little detailed information survives about Skill Time's specific gameplay mechanics, scoring, or playfield layout. As an EM machine from 1937, it predates the invention of the flipper, which did not appear in pinball until 1947, so its gameplay would have relied on the passive shot-and-score mechanics typical of pre-flipper machines, along with whatever electrical scoring and relay technology was characteristic of Keeney's designs in this period.

Due to the lack of available documentation, specific details regarding its theme, art, or notable features remain unknown. Despite this scarcity of information, Skill Time remains an artifact of interest to collectors and historians researching Keeney's early EM output during the late 1930s.
