Tommy Gun

Tommy Gun is an electro-mechanical gun game produced by H. C. Evans & Company of Chicago, released in February 1941. A distributor advertisement in The Billboard that month announced it as "Now Delivering," with a manufacturer's list price of $145.00.

As a gun game rather than a standard roll-down pinball, Tommy Gun would have had players firing at targets rather than controlling a ball with flippers, which had not yet been invented. Beyond its release timing and price, little else has been documented about its specific rules, artwork, or theme.

Nearly 85 years old, Tommy Gun survives today mainly as a documented product listing rather than a well-known collector's piece, offering a small window into the pre-war gun-game segment of the coin-operated amusement industry.
