Arrow Head

Overview

Arrow Head is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine designed by Harry Williams, and released in February 1957 during the woodrail era of pinball.

One of the most notable aspects of Arrow Head is its brief but memorable appearance in the 1974 classic film The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. In the movie, the main character's get-rich-quick scheme revolves around importing vintage pinball machines (specifically the Arrow Head) from Canada to New York, securing it a cult status among vintage film and pinball fans.

The machine features a Native American archery theme. The backglass artwork by George Molentin depicts a character aiming a bow and arrow, heavily inspired by the pin-up and illustrative styles of artists from that era, particularly George Petty.

Arrow Head is equipped with two standard early flippers characteristic of Williams games from the mid-to-late 1950s. The playfield features diverse scoring targets, including iconic "MILLION" point awards, which were a rarity in the 1950s.
