Bank-A-Ball / Flipper Pool

Tall portrait-format electro-mechanical playfield photographed under glass, cabinet still attached. The upper third is a horseshoe-shaped scoring lane assembly set into a dark teal-blue arc. At top centre sits an orange-tan panel reading BONUS above a large red 15 in a cream circle, flanked symmetrically by green 14 and 6 circles in yellow starburst frames, each with a cream ribbon beneath reading POINTS WHEN LIT. Below runs a rank of narrow vertical lanes in alternating red, cream and green, each headed by a numbered disc: 2, 1, 7, 9 and 10, with 12, 4 and 5 on a lower rank. The lane area is studded with round bumpers and pale cream discs ringed in green and red, two of them carrying a large 10. The mid playfield is a broad flat expanse of mustard yellow with a red-outlined triangular arrow target at centre. The lower olive-green apron carries a rectangular rules card headed BANK-A-BALL and a horizontal capsule window reading BALLS PLAYED. Dominant colours are mustard yellow, olive green, teal blue and red. Flat hand-painted 1960s printing with heavy black outlines.

Full-length pinball playfield photographed in a wooden cabinet. The upper two-thirds are a glossy yellow and green field carrying four round pop-bumper caps in white and pale green with ribbed skirts, plus three banks of upright drop targets in orange, pink and yellow. A man in a blue jacket and cap leans in from the left of centre; a blonde woman in a red top crouches at a green pool table on the right, cue in hand; two children peek in at the left and right rails. Two grinning green-teal clown faces sit in the top corners above the arch. Orange arrow panels on both upper sides read 'ADVANCE BONUS', and a green shield below the bumpers reads '50 LIGHTS 100 BUMPERS OUT'. The lower apron is off-white with peeling grey speckling, printed with huge block letters 'FLIPPER BUTTONS' in blue-outlined yellow and 'ON SIDE OF CABINET' in yellow, plus a cursive 'D. Gottlieb & Co.' signature and a red enamel maker's plate.

A painted cartoon backglass dominated by a large isometric billiard table with bright green baize and golden-brown rails on a maroon-and-cream chequerboard floor. Eight numbered yellow-green circles are printed on the table bed. Across the top a deep blue banner carries the title in huge cream serif capitals with red inline shading, preceded by a maker's name in slanted white cursive. A scalloped blue awning with coloured diamonds runs beneath it. Ten people in 1950s dress crowd the table: a blonde woman in a sleeveless scarlet gown leans over the right cushion holding a cue; a red-haired woman in a yellow blouse sights along her cue; a balding man in a white pinstriped jacket bends low over the left rail. Behind them a woman in a spotted top and red skirt sits on the table edge talking to a man in a white shirt, while a grey-suited man, a woman in a green dress and yellow hat and two men at a cash counter fill the rear. A cream scalloped score window with four reel apertures sits low on the left.

A painted pinball backglass dominated by a billiards-hall scene. Across the top runs a wide title banner; the large title lettering sits in a blue panel above a dark rectangular cut-out window for the score display, whose lower edge is scalloped with a row of small triangular points. Below that is a busy cartoon illustration of a crowded snooker or pool room: several men and women in mid-century dress stand and lean around a large green-felted billiard table whose rails are striped in bright yellow and blue. In the foreground at lower right a hand grips a wooden cue angled across the cloth. Lower centre sits a white, crown-topped score panel holding four reel windows, showing the digits 2, 3, 8 and 0. Beneath it a pale band carries Italian text split either side of a small oval approval signature badge. The bottom strip is a row of yellow numerals 1 to 10, each inside a blue diamond, on a red-orange ground, with vertical wording at the far right. Dominant colours are billiard-table green, warm red-orange, cream white and cornflower blue.

A painted backglass mounted on a grey speckled backbox panel. A deep blue scalloped banner across the top carries the title: the word "Gottlieb's" in small yellow cursive script, then "FLIPPER POOL" in huge block capitals, orange-red letters with cream and yellow inline shading and a dark outline. Below it a horizontal cut-out window shows four illuminated numeral reels reading 0 2 2 2 inside a white scalloped panel. The main illustration is a crowded 1950s-style billiard parlour: a green-felt pool table with a wooden rail runs diagonally from lower left to upper right, scattered with flat printed circles bearing the numerals 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 15, plus a white cue ball and a cue crossing the cloth. A man in a grey plaid jacket and red tie bends low over the table lining up a shot; a red-haired woman in a mustard-yellow blouse with a red collar leans in beside him; a blonde woman in a sleeveless red dress stands at right holding a cue upright. Behind them stand eight more figures in mid-century dress: a man in a dark suit, a woman in a green dress with a cue, a woman in a pink blouse and dark red skirt gesturing, a man in a white shirt and red tie, a man in a blue jacket, a woman in a green top, a man in a red shirt, and a man in a navy suit. The floor is a bold purple-and-cream diamond checkerboard. Along the bottom, a cream band reads "MFD. BY D. GOTTLIEB & CO." with an oval signature plaque, then "... CHICAGO, ILL. 60651"; beneath runs "GAME OVER" in red, then blue diamond shapes carrying the numerals 1 to 10, then "BALLS PLAY". A yellow-bordered box at lower right reads "PREVIOUS HIGH SCORE". The painted card is surrounded by a wide grey speckled border decorated with blue bars and orange semicircle motifs.
