Sharp Shooter

Sharp Shooter is a single-player electro-mechanical payout pinball machine manufactured in September 1935 by the Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) of Chicago, Illinois. It was produced as a replacement playfield for other Exhibit payout pin-table games. Exhibit also made an entirely mechanical, non-payout tabletop version the same year under the same name.

Specific gameplay rules for the electro-mechanical Sharp Shooter have not survived, but as with other Exhibit payout machines of the era, it would have used relays, switches, and simple scoring mechanisms well before the introduction of flippers in 1947.

As a utilitarian payout-industry product rather than a standalone consumer game, Sharp Shooter's design likely prioritized function over elaborate artwork, in keeping with many Exhibit payout titles of the mid-1930s.
