Circus Star

Circus Star is not a pinball machine, but a decorative aluminum-framed glass created as wall art by the Advertising Posters Company of Chicago, a firm that produced artwork for pinball manufacturers. It never appeared on any actual pinball machine; it is documented here for informational purposes only.

The glass carries a circus/carnival theme, likely featuring illustrations of circus performers or carnival attractions consistent with the artistic style of the era. A related flyer, mailed as part of a publicity or sales package, carries a date of February 6, 1978, which helps place the piece's promotional history, though it does not establish a manufacture date for the glass itself.

Because it was never installed in or sold as a working pinball game, there is no gameplay, ruleset, or mechanical design to describe. Its interest lies purely as a piece of pinball-industry-adjacent commercial art, illustrating the kind of decorative material producers created around the game rather than as part of it.
