    too late for me to make my guess
    as the page turned

    #2753 6 years ago

    Next one - from BG

    Flying Chariots: http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=901&picno=44466&zoom=1

    BLY Mystic
    http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1650&picno=30400

    took me a while, sure I knew it was familiar.

    #2756 6 years ago

    from BG

    Looks like Speakeasy

    Yup - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2270&picno=12362

    Hint: Backglass. Not a large run of these, but well know enough where someone will get this.

    #2759 6 years ago

    One of them is in my basement now,
    though BG/head is folded down at the moment
    cause I lost the key.

    Another rare one
    BG

    Good old Voltan Esccapes Cosmic Doom

    most likely Medusa
    Game I have never owned, but was on my want list.

    #2763 6 years ago

    snippet from BG

    #2764 6 years ago

    Indy 500 - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2853&picno=6888

    Knew that at a glance. I have been thinking about how much I miss that at The Sanctum. We have a Medusa there and it is a fun game.

    #2768 6 years ago

    Surprized no one has guessed this yet.
    It is from the BG from one of the major USA MFRs.
    The only other thing that I will say is that
    the artist (as commonly known (credited) per most pinball resources)
    IMHO had an assist from someone else.

    #2769 6 years ago

    Yes, I'm surprised too
    A very good clue and a real tough one.
    I'm sure I know it but can't remember yet.

    #2770 6 years ago

    Easy! Cleveland Coins venerable 1897 classic "The Third Man". Artwork by HR Geiger.

    #2771 6 years ago

    a little more view but not much more

    pasted_image (resized).pngpasted_image (resized).png

    #2772 6 years ago

    Some more to help

    Capture (resized).JPGCapture (resized).JPG

    #2773 6 years ago

    a little bit more from opposite corner (cropped)

    opposite corner (resized).JPGopposite corner (resized).JPG

    #2775 6 years ago

    From a bare playfield.

    p (resized).jpgp (resized).jpg

    #2776 6 years ago

    who ever the artist was that drew those dice
    did not know much about dice.
    As it looks like the bottom die has two 5s on it.

    #2777 6 years ago
    Quoted from pinwiztom:

    Agreed, Also many people drawing dice don't realize opposite sides always add up to 7.

    But as long as you're picking on the artist - Hint 1 - John Youssi

    #2779 6 years ago

    From the backglass.

    #2780 6 years ago

    At first i started looking for WMS race horse games,
    but turns out to be different type of race theme
    Struggle Buggies
    http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2407&picno=66612&zoom=1

    #2781 6 years ago

    From BG

    Quoted from pinwiztom:

    Going back to my comment about the World Fair BG artwork,
    and that Parker likely got an assist from someone,
    Do most of you guys think that those gypsy belly dancers looked too good to be drawn by Parker alone?
    Certainly in a different style than was typical for Parker.
    Parker has done good girl art before, like on the PF for Cover Girl, but
    it is easily recognizable as Parker rendered.

    #2783 6 years ago

    I see what you mean. The Worlds Fair girls use more shading on parts like muscles where he normally uses pretty defined cut lines and color changes.

    I normally don't analyze as much as I have since this thread started. Such a good thing.

    #2784 6 years ago

    Again from a backglass

    #2785 6 years ago

    Got to look real hard but the little scene is under the title
    Big Daddy
    http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=242&picno=57181&zoom=1
    I knew right away it had to be Williams
    and by the unknown artist.

    #2786 6 years ago

    next

    image-12 (resized).jpgimage-12 (resized).jpg

    #2787 6 years ago

    That's Williams 1972 HONEY by Christian Marche.
    I absolutely agree with your notes on WORLD FAIR, these aren't Parker-Girls.

    I still think someone should try to find a former employee from Ad-Posters in Chicago and ask her/him about the mystery artists. Some documents must still exist.

    Or what about James Loflin - did anybody see the film about him in 'Pins'n' Vids 4 '
    He's got lots of the original drawings so I think there must be a signature now and then?

    #2788 6 years ago

    Next one
    bg

    bg (resized).jpgbg (resized).jpg

    #2789 6 years ago

    O-Din knows that annoyed moose.

    Honey, is not by C.Marche, but IMHO the last pinball artwork by the mystery artist.

    Here is another visual clue to the above.
    I was pretty annoyed like the moose, when my pin came with the backglass shattered into pieces

    I woke up to an Eager Beaver today!

    Seven hours ago on a saturday... and I'm the first one to thumbs up this?! I'm disappointed.

    #2792 6 years ago

    Seven hours huh? Thanks! But I probably already got more than my share of thumbs on that "Taking on an Eager Beaver" thread. But that does deserve a little more clue.

    That's horrible - why does this always happen to such beautiful glasses.
