The Walkaway

The Walkaway, manufactured by Standard Amusement Co., Inc. between 1932 and 1933, is a rare piece of pinball history. As a pure mechanical machine typical of the era, it features a simple, functional layout for two players.

What sets The Walkaway apart from other early pinball machines is its unique gameplay feature: two side-by-side playfields that could be played simultaneously for 5 cents. This dual-play capability was a novelty in the 1930s and demonstrates the manufacturer's willingness to experiment with new ideas. Players could compete on each playfield, adding an extra layer of excitement to this early pinball experience.

The Walkaway offers a fascinating glimpse into the development of pinball's early years, when manufacturers were still experimenting with basic mechanical designs, making it an interesting discovery for pinball historians and collectors.
