Skooky

Skooky, produced by Pacific Manufacturing Corporation in April 1937, is an electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine notable chiefly for its name: according to Marie McClellan, daughter of Pacific Amusement Company owner Fred C. McClellan, her father used to call her "Skooky," and the game was named after her.

Gameplay offered 5 balls for 5 cents, a standard pricing model for the era, and the playfield featured twelve spring bumpers, adding variety and additional scoring opportunities compared to simpler mechanical layouts. Specific details on further gameplay mechanics and scoring are not documented.

Beyond its personal namesake and its era-appropriate EM design, little else is recorded about Skooky's theme, art, or broader significance. It remains a modest but charming piece of 1930s pinball history, notable for the human story behind its name.
