Vintage pinball flyer for Rapid Fire by Exhibit Manufacturing Co., 1930's.

The earlier pinball machines of the 1930's evolved from parlor games and bagatelle tables and offered 5, 7, or even 10 balls for a penny. This first generation of pinball machines was for pure amusement only, but gambling quickly became the name of the game, and one-ball payout machines replaced their earlier counterparts by mid-decade.
