Bottoms Up

Bottoms Up, produced by Globe Manufacturing Company in August 1935, is an early example of electro-mechanical pinball design. It is a rare find for collectors and historians, providing a glimpse into the formative days of pinball.

Notable gameplay features include 31 trap holes, one gobble hole, and two kickers, which add an element of challenge to the player's experience. The Starter Hole at the top of the playfield serves as the sole gobble hole, offering a single opportunity for players to collect points before losing them to the various traps. A five-cent per game cost adds to the authenticity of this vintage machine.

Design and artwork on Bottoms Up are characteristic of its era, with minimal embellishments and a straightforward aesthetic; its playfield layout is similar to Globe Manufacturing's own 1935 'West Bound'. No specific information about the designer or theme was found, leaving some aspects of this machine's history shrouded in mystery.
