Hi-Low Game (Junior)

The Hi-Low Game (Junior) from Dallas Novelty Company Incorporated, built in March 1932, is an early example of pure mechanical (PM) pinball manufacturing, produced just two months after the company's Senior version. It reflects the rapid, iterative development common among small manufacturers during pinball's earliest commercial years.

As a Table Top/Counter Game, the Junior was a smaller, more compact variant meant for countertop placement in bars and shops rather than as a standalone cabinet. Being purely mechanical, its gameplay relied entirely on physical mechanisms -- gravity, springs, and manually positioned components -- with no electrical scoring, lighting, or sound.

There is limited information available about the Hi-Low Game (Junior)'s specific theme, artwork, or gameplay rules, which is common for surviving machines from Dallas Novelty Company's brief output. Records of the company itself are similarly sparse, making this an intriguing but poorly documented piece of early pinball history.
