About This Machine

"Pick-Up" is a single-player pinball machine produced by Field Manufacturing Corporation of Peoria, Illinois in 1933, during the earliest formative years of the commercial pinball industry.

Very little specific information about "Pick-Up" has survived. As with most machines from this period, it would have predated flippers (introduced in 1947) and relied instead on plunging, angle, and nudging skill typical of early-1930s pinball design.

No details about the machine's designer, artwork, or theme are documented. Its rarity and the general scarcity of surviving records make "Pick-Up" an intriguing but largely undocumented piece of pinball's early history.
