Honey

Gottlieb's 'Honey' pinball machine, released in 1963, represents a classic example of the company's early-1960s electro-mechanical design philosophy. The machine embraced the simple yet engaging gameplay style characteristic of the era, featuring mechanical scoring reels and relay-based logic systems.

The playfield design of 'Honey' incorporated traditional elements like pop bumpers, rollover switches, and scoring lanes, while its theme celebrated the sweet and natural imagery of honey production and beekeeping. The backglass artwork likely featured bee-related imagery and honeycomb patterns, following the artistic conventions of the period when pinball art was becoming increasingly elaborate but still maintained a certain wholesome simplicity.

As with many Gottlieb machines of this period, 'Honey' would have been manufactured at their Chicago facility and distributed primarily to American arcades and entertainment venues. While not necessarily one of Gottlieb's most famous titles, it represents an important piece of pinball history from a time when the industry was still developing many of the mechanical innovations that would define the golden age of pinball.
