Another glorious Art Deco facade on - where else? - Collins Ave and Tenth in Miami Beach, Florida. Postmarked 1952.

A vintage photograph showing the Laramie Bank Building under construction (date unknown - late 1920's to early 30's). The bank is chiefly Art Deco in its design and some of the ornamentation can be seen in the picture. I believe the address to be 5151 W. Chicago Avenue, Chicago, at the corner of Laramie and Chicago Avenues. I'm not sure if it's there anymore, as that neighborhood has changed over the years. All the makeshift scaffolding is sure interesting enough..!

Vintage pinball flyer for Gateway by Exhibit Manufacturing Co. 1930's. Like other early pinball manufacturers, Exhibit experimented with interchangeable playfields for operators to update the look and play of games on their routes without having to buy entirely new machines.

Vintage pinball flyer for Zoom by Stoner Mfg., 1935. By the mid-1930's, a handful of pinball bagatelle tables were sporting small headers at the top of the playfield that would soon evolve into the more familiar backboxes ubiquitous on pinballs from the 40's onward.

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.

Vintage pinball flyer for Bazaar by Exhibit Manufacturing Co., 1937. Note the emergence of what would soon become the familiar backbox of today.
