Streamlined and sleek indeed, from the playfield styling as well as the advertising - just what you'd expect in a game from 1934.

Vintage pinball flyer for Ace by Bally Manufacturing Co., 1935.

One-ball payout machines were a prolific variation on pinball through the early years. This led to huge sales, but even bigger problems down the road with critics that decried similar machines as degenerate and viceful.

Vintage arcade flyer for Electric Eye, a stylish mechanical shooting range by Exhibit Manufacturing Co.

Gambling was every where in the 1930's, as manufacturers even adapted target ranges to be payout machines.

While the advertised claim of "pistol taget pratice" implies a certain degree of skill, I've seldom encountered one of these old mechanical pistol ranges that shoots the ball consistently! That inconsistency - coupled with the "automatic changing odds" - make this more a pure gambling device than a skill machine.

Like other early pinball manufacturers, Exhibit experimented with interchangeable playfields for operators to update the look and play of games on their routes without having to buy entirely new machines.

Smokers could purchase a pack straight up for fifteen cents, or risk a nickel and take a chance on winning anywhere from one to ten packs, or none, as was often the case.

Nevermind what the doc or the mrs. back home says, you're jonesing for some vintage candy in a major way, and the Stoner Univendor's calling like some sweet siren. You're only human - how can you resist? Besides, it's 1957 and the Russians are breathing down our necks like never before, so what's the big deal? It's not like that one Bit-O-Honey is going to make a difference when the other shoe drops.

Vintage advertising flyer for Ray's Track by Bally Manufacturing of Chicago, Illinois, then the pinball capital of the universe.

By the mid to late 30's, every manufacturer was rushing to cash in on the frenzied popularity of Ed Pace's Paces Races, the prototypical horse-racing consule of the type shown above, and Bally's founder and namesake, Ray Maloney, proved no exception.

By my reckoning, Baker and Evans came closest in duplicating Pace's success, but then World War II got in the way, and the postwar gambling vacuum was filled in part by pinball-styled bingo machines and in greater part by a certain desert city...

Always a step ahead
