Treasure Pirate

Treasure Pirate, manufactured by O.D. Jennings and Company in 1935, is an electro-mechanical (EM) single-player payout pinball machine from the early years of the industry. Beyond its manufacturer, year, and payout classification, little further documentation survives about its playfield, artwork, or theme.

Like other EM machines of its era, Treasure Pirate would have used gravity-driven ball movement, pins, and targets rather than player-controlled flippers, which did not appear in pinball until over a decade later. Scoring and payout mechanisms would have relied on the solenoids and relays typical of 1930s electro-mechanical design.

Without more detailed records, specifics about Treasure Pirate's unique features remain unknown, but its production by O.D. Jennings -- a notable manufacturer of the period -- gives it a place among the payout machines of pinball's early history.
