Green Lights

Green Lights is a piece of pinball history, produced by O. D. Jennings and Company of Chicago in May 1937. As an early electromechanical (EM) game from this influential manufacturer, Green Lights showcases the pioneering, comparatively simple design conventions of its time.

At first glance, Green Lights may appear simple by today's standards, but it offers a straightforward, engaging play experience. Players can enjoy 5 balls for just 5 cents, a solid value for the era. The game's 10 scoring bumpers are its main attraction, providing an exciting way to rack up points as players navigate the playfield. Unlike some contemporaries, this machine has no rollover switches, and its outhole is a vertical trough rather than horizontal, with a shorter backbox than later designs.

The Automobile Travel - Traffic theme was on-trend for its time, likely depicting cars and roadways in period-appropriate artwork. Unfortunately, little information is available about the game's designer or any specific design inspirations. Nevertheless, Green Lights remains an interesting piece of pinball history, offering a glimpse into the early days of the industry.
