Daisy May

Daisy May, designed by Wayne Neyens with artwork by Roy Parker and manufactured by Gottlieb in July 1954, is a scarce electro-mechanical pinball machine with a confirmed production run of just 600 units. Carrying Gottlieb's cheerful "Happiness" theme, it pairs two of the company's most celebrated talents of the era: Neyens on the playfield and Parker on the art.

The game's most distinctive trait is its unusual arrangement of four flippers, which changes how players approach ball control compared to the conventional two-flipper layout. The playfield also includes four pop bumpers, four passive bumpers, and two kick-out holes, providing multiple ways to score and keep the ball in motion. Notably, Daisy May has no slingshots, giving its lower playfield a different rhythm than most games that followed.

Daisy May's design and art reflect the optimism and simplicity of mid-century America in Roy Parker's signature style. Its low production run and unusual flipper layout make it a sought-after find among collectors of 1950s Gottlieb games.
