Georgia

Georgia, produced by Williams Manufacturing Company in July 1950, is a classic single-player electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine from the golden age of the flipper game. Designed by the legendary Harry Williams with artwork by George Molentin, it carries an American Places theme and reflects the era's straightforward, hole-centric approach to playfield design.

The game offers two flippers, two pop bumpers, and no fewer than six kick-out holes, which drive much of the scoring action. A distinctive aspect of Georgia's design is its tilt handling: the tilt penalty is the ball in play, and the tilt is reset when the ball passes through a roll-under wire at the bottom of the playfield below the flippers, rather than ending the entire game.

As an early-1950s Williams game pairing Harry Williams' design instincts with George Molentin's artwork, Georgia offers collectors and historians a pleasing window into pinball's postwar years, when kick-out holes and simple layouts defined the play experience.
