Did you know that during the 1940s, many pinball manufacturers shifted production to support the war effort during World War II? Companies that normally built pinball machines began producing military equipment and parts instead. After the war ended, pinball returned stronger than ever, becoming one of America's favorite forms of entertainment throughout the 1950s and beyond.

This Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women who served our country and reflect on how their sacrifices shaped the communities and hobbies we enjoy today—including the game of pinball.

❤️🤍💙 Thank you to all who served and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

🎯 PINBALL FUN FACT OF THE DAY 🎯

Did you know the first pinball machines didn’t even have flippers? 🤯

Early pinball games in the 1930s were more like tabletop gambling machines where players simply launched the ball and hoped for the best. It wasn’t until 1947 that flippers were introduced, completely changing the game forever and turning pinball into the fast-paced skill game we know today! ⚡

The first machine with flippers was called Humpty Dumpty by Gottlieb — and it featured SIX flippers! 🎉

Next time you make an incredible save or hit a combo shot, thank those little flippers. 👏

🕹️ What’s YOUR favorite classic pinball machine of all time?

🦖 Ever wonder why you never see a T-Rex on the pinball leaderboard? 🦖

This is our favorite Dinosaur Pinball Tee! It features a very determined T-Rex giving it his absolute best shot on a classic machine. Safe to say, those short arms make a clean skill shot pretty tough.

Whether you're hitting up your local pinball tournament, heading to an expo, or just looking for a hilarious conversation starter, this tee has you covered.
