Silver Star

The Silver Star, manufactured by the Silver Star Manufacturing Company of Brooklyn, New York, dates to July 1932 (an earlier listing had shown August 1932). As a Pure Mechanical (PM) machine, it predates the electromechanical era, relying entirely on mechanical components rather than electricity to operate.

The Silver Star offered players 10 balls for 5 cents, a generous ball count typical of the era's penny-arcade pricing. The cabinet was advertised at a compact 41 inches long, 21 inches wide, and 39 inches high, making it well suited for amusement arcades and taverns of the time.

Very little is known about the design, artwork, or theme of the Silver Star. Its minimalist construction, typical of early 1930s pinball, likely featured a simple playing field. Despite the scarcity of documentation, the Silver Star remains a notable early example of Pure Mechanical pinball from the game's formative years.
