Deluxe Twins

The Deluxe Twins is an early pure mechanical pin table from the DeLuxe Amusement Company of San Antonio, Texas, dating to June 1932, at the height of the coin-op pin game boom. What makes this machine remarkable is that it offers two separate games side by side: two playfields share one cabinet, each with its own shooter knob at a front corner, delivering 2 games for 5 cents and letting a pair of players compete simultaneously.

The machine's mechanical design is notable for its simplicity and functionality. The two playfields operate independently within the common cabinet, with no need for electrical components of any kind. The cabinet was advertised as walnut, measuring 38 inches long and 32 inches wide, and the manufacturer offered the game at $75.00 F.O.B. San Antonio, Texas.

DeLuxe Amusement Company was a small and short-lived manufacturer, operating only from 1932 to 1934, which makes the Deluxe Twins a relatively obscure entry in pinball history. No designer or detailed theme information survives in the records, but its age, twin-playfield novelty, and all-mechanical construction make it an intriguing find for collectors and a fascinating window into the industry's humble beginnings.
