Pinball playfields and drawings collection

 Collection
Identifier: 2022.pinball
This is an ongoing, artificial collection compiled by staff members at The Strong.

Pinball playfields and pinball-related drawings housed in this collection were acquired in piecemeal—typically through a vendor purchase—and were not part of an existing contextual collection. (Researchers may also be interested in the various company records held in the Brian Sutton-Smith Library & Archives of Play at The Strong, including the Williams pinball playfield design collection, Bally-Midway-Williams records, and the United Manufacturing Co. records.)

For pinball playfields or component drawings, this guide indicates the manufacturer, game title, year, and other necessary information (including the individual or group object ID under which the item was accessioned). For company facility drawings, the company is noted, along with any identifying information indicated on the drawing itself.
