Double Play
About This Machine
The Warren Manufacturing Company's 1932 Double Play is a single-player, table-top/counter-style pinball game from the very first years of the coin-operated pinball industry, which had only just emerged around 1931. As an early example from Warren, a short-lived Ohio manufacturer, it offers a glimpse into the earliest, most mechanically simple era of the game.
As a table-top/counter game, Double Play was designed for placement on a counter rather than as a freestanding cabinet, reflecting the compact, low-cost machines common to this period before larger console-style cabinets became standard. Specific details about its scoring layout and features are not well documented.
Its early manufacture date and rarity as a Warren Manufacturing product make Double Play a notable artifact for collectors and historians studying pinball's earliest, pre-flipper years, even though much about its design remains undocumented.
