The Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company began producing wooden pinball machines during the1930s. This example, a flipperless model from 1938, was donated to the museum by Helen Waasdorp. A Rochester native, Helen fondly recalls playing "Snappy" as a child at Willow Point Amusement Park in Webster and with her family for decades after the park closed.
