Briarwood, Div. Of Brunswick Mfg. Co.

Briarwood, Div. Of Brunswick Mfg. Co. was a short-lived division of Brunswick Manufacturing Company that produced a small line of home-model, electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machines in the late 1970s, most notably the space-themed Cosmic Pinball (1977). The company’s brief catalog focused on compact, consumer-oriented home pinball designs rather than full-size arcade cabinets, and Briarwood machines are documented across pinball databases and collector sites as vintage home-pinball collectibles. Cosmic Pinball is recorded as an EM home model with a space theme and small cabinet form factor; production figures are limited or unknown, so surviving units are primarily found through collectors, restorers, and enthusiast marketplaces. As a historical brand within the Brunswick family, Briarwood no longer produces new machines and its legacy is preserved by vintage pinball communities, restoration guides, and archival listings for those seeking parts, documentation, or to acquire a rare home-model title like Cosmic Pinball—making Briarwood an important name for collectors of classic Brunswick-era home pinball machines.
