Pimlico

The Pimlico, manufactured by Victory Sales Company from 1946 to 1949, is an electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine from just before the flipper era began -- flippers would not appear in pinball until 1947, so Pimlico's gameplay relied on the pre-flipper mechanics common at the time, such as bumpers, targets, and skillful ball control through nudging and timing.

The machine's rules and objectives were likely straightforward, with targets and obstacles providing a challenge for players in the style typical of mid-1940s EM games. What sets the Pimlico apart from its contemporaries is its relative rarity, making it a prized find among collectors and enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, very little information exists about the Pimlico beyond its basic specifications. Its design, artwork, and theme remain unknown, leaving much to the imagination of pinball historians and enthusiasts. Despite this lack of knowledge, the Pimlico remains an interesting piece of pinball history, serving as a tangible link to the years just before flippers transformed the game.
