Coupe D'Argent

Coupe D — advertised and known in period sources as 'La Coupe D'Argent' ('Silver Cup' in French) — is a pure mechanical pinball machine manufactured by Scott, Adickes & Cie of Paris, France in December 1933. It is a French copy of the internationally successful Genco 'Silver Cup' from the same year, illustrating how popular American pinball designs were replicated for the European market in the early 1930s.

Gameplay on the Coupe D follows the format of its American counterpart: players received ten balls for 25 centimes, with six snap traps adding an element of unpredictability as the ball moves through the machine's mechanisms. The compact cabinet measures 96 cm by 42 cm by 37 cm.

Little information is available about the Coupe D's specific design or art beyond its manufacture and functionality as a Silver Cup copy. Its rarity and its status as an early example of American pinball designs being adapted for the French market make it an interesting find for those studying the international spread of pinball in the 1930s.
