Hi-Score Pool

Hi-Score Pool, made by A. G. Sebring Corporation of Chicago, Illinois in July 1949, is a rolldown game — not a pinball machine — that uses a cue stick instead of having the player manually roll the ball. It is a single-player, electro-mechanical coin-op game from the early post-war period.

Documentation on Hi-Score Pool is scarce: the only known trade references are from Billboard magazine in July 1949, including manufacturer's picture ads describing it as a new game. Specific gameplay rules and scoring details have not been documented.

As a rolldown/cue game rather than a true pinball machine, Hi-Score Pool represents a lesser-known category of late-1940s coin-operated amusement, and it remains of interest to collectors researching A. G. Sebring's brief output during this period.
