Red Heads of 1942

Red Heads of 1942 was manufactured by Glickman Industries of Philadelphia, with the earliest known reference dating to January 1942 — among the earlier of Glickman's wartime conversion games, though not one of the earliest pinball machines overall. It was a converted game based on Genco's 1940 'Blondie'; by mid-1942 Glickman had shortened its advertised name to simply 'Red Heads,' and it is unclear whether the '1942' ever appeared on the backglass itself.

As a flipperless, single-player electro-mechanical machine, its gameplay followed the straightforward, bumper-driven style common before flippers were introduced to pinball.

Specific details about its design, art, or theme are not documented. As with other Glickman conversions, it offers a small window into how wartime manufacturers adapted existing games to keep pinball in operation.
