Baby

Baby is an early electro-mechanical pinball machine from Genco Manufacturing Company, one of the pioneering manufacturers of pinball machines. Its release isn't precisely documented, but it's estimated to date to around 1938, since it shares the same playfield layout as Genco's 1937 'Junior,' albeit with different artwork; the name 'Baby' appears at the top of the playfield.

One of Baby's most distinctive features is its cabinet, which is shorter in length than other games of the period and paired with a short backbox. It also carries seven spring bumpers, a common feature on early EM machines. As a flipperless game, gameplay would have relied on the bumpers and cabinet tilt rather than flipper control, consistent with pinball design conventions of the late 1930s.

As an early Genco title built on the 'Junior' playfield, Baby offers a window into how manufacturers reused and reworked designs during pinball's formative years. Little additional information is available about its theme or artwork, but its scarcity and estimated 1938 production date make it a notable piece of early pinball history.
