Pimlico

The Pimlico is a 1941 single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine from Bally Manufacturing Corporation, an early sports-themed entry in the company's catalog. Manufactured on October 18, 1941, and carrying the model number 448, it captures the excitement of horse racing during pinball's formative pre-war years.

As with most machines of its era, Pimlico's design and ruleset were likely simple by later standards, relying on basic target and hole scoring rather than the complex multiball and mode-based rules that would define later machines. Its theme, drawn from horse racing, places it among the sports-themed pinball games Bally produced in the early 1940s.

Little further documentation of Pimlico survives, and specific details of its artwork and gameplay mechanics are not well recorded, leaving much for collectors and historians to piece together. Its age and scarcity alone make it a notable artifact of early American pinball manufacturing.
