I bought this Gottlieb 1970 "Baseball" pin that was inside the show,

which was played quite a lot.

It features backglass animation.

In the flea market, the add-a-ball version was for sale.

It's called "Batter Up," and somewhat rare. The Internet Pinball Database says there were only 560 produced.

TRIVIA:  Klondike was one of the pins on the show "Happy Days."

"Triple Action" is one the few pins which feature a round spinner on the playfield which spins as the ball hits it.

 

Only 1,200 of these were produced.

One vendor had several 40's and 50's pins for sale, including this rare 1946 Exhibit "Fiesta" pin.

This 1950 Exhibit "Oasis" pin is also somewhat rare.  

This Keeney 1941 "Sky Ray" pin is another one you don't see too often either.  The bodies of these games, by the way, were being unloaded off the seller's truck at this point.

According to The Internet Pinball Database, only 1,500 Gottlieb "Guys Dolls" pins were produced.

"Nevada" was produced in 1947. The next year, United would produce their first pin with flippers, which was called "Wisconsin," according to the Internet Pinball Database.

Here's another pin I've never heard of before.  It was one of many designed by Harry Williams.

There was a working "Jigsaw" set up inside the show.  It was one of my favorites, and was also designed by Harry Williams.

This pin features tic-tac-toe backglass light animation.
