Skippie

The Skippie pinball machine is an example of pinball's early mechanical era. As a Pure Mechanical (PM) game from an unknown manufacturer, it offers a glimpse into the game before the advent of electronic components. Its exact manufacturer and designer remain unknown, but the machine's construction and features give some insight into its design.

Skippie's gameplay revolves around a ball-rolling mechanism, where 10 balls are played for five cents. Players navigate their way through 20 gobble holes and a single free play hole, with balls falling through playfield holes to score troughs marked with corresponding point values, tallied by the player at the game's end.

The machine's cabinet measures 40 inches long, 20 inches wide, and 34 inches high on its legs. Its upper apron is metal, embossed on each side with the name SKIPPIE in red. Little is known about Skippie's backstory or design intentions, leaving much of its history undocumented.
