Miss Annabelle

Miss Annabelle was a classic electro-mechanical pinball machine released by D. Gottlieb & Co. during the golden age of mechanical pinball in the late 1950s. The machine exemplified the elegant and sophisticated design aesthetics of the era, featuring artwork and themes that were common in the post-war period when pinball was establishing itself as a mainstream entertainment option.

The game likely featured the standard mechanical components of the era, including pop bumpers, kick-out holes, and scoring relays typical of Gottlieb machines from this period. Like many games of its time, it would have used mechanical score reels and chimes rather than electronic sounds. The playfield layout would have been relatively straightforward compared to modern machines, focusing on fundamental pinball skills and precise shooting.

As with many Gottlieb machines from this period, Miss Annabelle would have been manufactured at their Chicago factory, representing the company's strong position in the amusement industry during the 1950s. While not necessarily one of Gottlieb's most famous titles, it represents an important period in pinball history when manufacturers were refining their mechanical engineering and establishing many of the conventions that would define pinball for decades to come.
