Dairylea

The Dairylea, manufactured by Scientific Machine Corporation of Brooklyn, New York, in January 1935, is a piece of early pinball history. As an early electro-mechanical (EM) machine from the fledgling industry, it represents part of the development of pre-war pinball. Machines from Scientific Machine Corporation's early years are relatively scarce today, making the Dairylea a notable find for collectors.

Gameplay on the Dairylea would have relied on a small playfield where the ball, launched by the player, interacted with bumpers and targets under the influence of gravity and tilt -- the player-controlled flipper was still more than a decade from being invented. Specific details about its key gameplay features are scarce, but enthusiasts will appreciate the opportunity to experience a machine from this pivotal, pre-flipper era in pinball's evolution.

Unfortunately, little is known about the machine's design, art, or theme beyond its manufacturer and date of production. Still, the Dairylea remains a piece of pinball history that invites further research and study to uncover more about its development and operation.
