Pyramid Peg
About This Machine
Pyramid Peg, manufactured by the Waddell Company, Incorporated of Greenfield, Ohio in April 1932, is a pure mechanical (non-electric) tabletop/counter game rather than a floor-standing pinball machine, designed for up to four players.
The game's board measures 30 inches by 30 inches and is slightly dome-shaped in the middle, and was made of walnut and possibly maple or birch -- quality woodworking materials typical of furniture-grade construction from the era.
As one of the earliest known mechanical pinball-style games, Pyramid Peg predates the electromechanical (EM) designs that would come to dominate the industry for decades. Little else is documented about its specific gameplay mechanics or rules, but its age, tabletop format, and rarity make it an intriguing artifact for collectors and historians studying the earliest days of pinball's development.
