About This Machine

This enigmatic pinball machine is a rare and intriguing find for collectors and historians alike, a Pure Mechanical (PM) bagatelle from circa 1932 featuring a Playing Cards - Poker theme. Its design is similar to Lindstrom's 1932 'Poker Ball Square,' offering a glimpse into the evolution of the game's early days, though its own manufacturer remains undocumented.

Measuring just 24 inches long and 14 inches wide, this square-top-frame machine was designed to be compact and accessible to players in the early 1930s. The exact rules and objectives of the game remain unconfirmed, but the poker card theme suggests gameplay built around accumulating winning hands or completing specific challenges, in keeping with similar bagatelles of the period.

The design on this machine is notable, if somewhat understated, with its use of playing card suits and numbers suggesting a clear focus on the game's theme. The absence of any identifying manufacturer marks or labels only adds to the machine's mystique, making it an interesting discovery for anyone seeking out rare and lesser-documented pinball machines.
