Pretty Baby

Pretty Baby was a classic electro-mechanical pinball machine produced by D. Gottlieb & Co. during the golden age of mechanical pinball in the early 1950s. The machine exemplified the artistic and mechanical craftsmanship of the era, featuring hand-drawn artwork and intricate mechanical components that were hallmarks of early pinball design.

The gameplay was characteristic of early 1950s pinball, with a traditional layout featuring bumpers, kickout holes, and scoring lanes. Like other machines of this period, Pretty Baby relied entirely on mechanical components and switches to track scoring and operate game features. The playfield likely included the standard complement of pop bumpers, kick-out holes, and rolling targets that were common to games of this era.

Pretty Baby represents an important period in pinball history when manufacturers were still developing the fundamental concepts and mechanisms that would define the game for decades to come. The machine's release coincided with a time when pinball was establishing itself as a legitimate form of entertainment, following the lifting of pinball bans in many major cities. While specific production numbers are not well documented, machines from this era were typically manufactured in runs of several thousand units.
