1951 Gottlieb Minstrel Man pinball machine Building Location: Main_W1 Game Type = EM
The 1951 Gottlieb Minstrel Man is a pretty interesting
woodrail game. Somewhat racial in theme, reflecting the times
in the early 1950s we guess. The gentleman on the glass
is black painted with big white lips, known as "blackface."
on the playfield there are three blackface men that the
balls hits, and the target drops, like an early version
of drop target. This game is credited for that, though
this form of drop target is a bit different than
what most people associate with more modern drop targets.
There were 1800 Gottlieb Minstrel Man games produced,
which for the time, and a pretty high production number.
This was a popular game.
This is the actual game at the VFW Pinball Museum.
