About This Machine

The Blue Star Double was manufactured by the DeLuxe Amusement Company of San Antonio, Texas in February 1933, during the company's brief 1932-1934 run. As a single-player, pure mechanical machine from this era, it predates the introduction of flippers and other features that would later define modern pinball, relying instead on early mechanical scoring methods.

Specific details about Blue Star Double's gameplay, targets, and scoring are not documented, which is typical for many machines from small, short-lived manufacturers of the early 1930s. Its mechanical operation reflects the ingenuity of early pinball makers working before electrification became standard.

Blue Star Double remains a little-documented machine, and much about its theme, artwork, and original rules is unknown. Its short production window and rarity make it a notable find for collectors interested in the earliest pure-mechanical era of American pinball.
