Here's a rare Bally Chicago 1920's themed pin, "City Slicker."  There were only 300 made.

Like Old Chicago, nice art.

The Internet Pinball Database mentions there is a clear plastic elevated platform which contains two trapped balls to be flipped towards targets. A kick-out hole, located in the center of the playfield kicks the ball to a nearby flipper that auto-flips it towards the player.

Here's a Game Plan "Sharpshooter."

Here's a better shot of the backglass.  This is yet another pin you don't see in working condition too often.

I found another Western themed pin.

It's Dracula x 2.  How often do you see a working Stern "Dracula" pin?

 

Like "Joker Poker," this pin was also produced in limited numbers as an EM and a solid state.  There was also the two player EM version, "Pyramid," and even a 1979 Italian Mondialmatic EM "Cleopatra" conversion kit, made to fit into a 1972 Gottlieb "Play Pool" wedgehead.

Here's one of the most collectible EMs ever made. Over 16,000 were produced.

Here's one of the last Williams EMs and probably one of the oddest, a single player "Blue Chip."

It has a stock market theme. Not sure what Williams was trying to do here.

Planes, trains, and automobiles...........and trucks and freighters?
