Bank Shot / Sure Shot

Painted pinball backglass on a pale cream/ivory panel with a deep cobalt-blue upper field crossed by pale vertical stripes suggesting the wall of a billiards hall. Top left reads BALLS TO PLAY in yellow slab capitals above a cluster of five billiard balls showing the numerals 2, 3, 4 and 5 plus one plain yellow ball. Across the upper centre is a long cream score window framed in black showing five empty rectangular digit boxes separated by commas, with a small red-and-yellow logo box at top right. The centre art is a crowded pool hall scene: a red-canopied, carousel-like pool table lamp with scalloped red, yellow and green panels. At left a dark-haired woman in a striped cap, yellow blouse and blue skirt leans far over the green baize, cue angled down, lining up a shot. Beside her a slim blonde woman in a red polka-dot dress with matching red cap and pearl necklace crouches and reaches across the table, with a red ball, a white cue ball and a burst of chalk smoke on the cloth. Two grinning male spectators rendered flat in blue-teal monochrome crowd the right and left edges, one in a top hat, one in a bowler. Over the baize sits the white cursive logo fifteen Pool above a huge yellow 15 and POOL.

A photographed backglass set into an ivory/cream cabinet with a red plinth base; the cabinet side panel at left is painted green with large white-and-red oval and teardrop shapes. The artwork itself has a royal blue background of vertical stripes suggesting a panelled wall. Top left, stacked yellow lettering on blue reads BALLS TO PLAY. Top right is a cream-framed window containing a row of numbered ball-counter reels, with a small red-and-yellow striped flag above it. Below the window is a lit cream rectangle like a score display panel. Centre of the art shows an ornate red-and-yellow striped domed canopy over a counter, with a green-clad bank clerk figure behind it, one arm raised. The lower half is dominated by a green-felt billiard table seen in perspective, holding a blue ball and two pale balls, with cue sticks crossing it. Two male players lean over the table: one at left in a white shirt and blue trousers, one at right in an orange-red checkered shirt. A green statue-like female figure stands at the right, with a man's face in profile at the far right edge. Across the bottom, large curved lettering reads Bill Elliott's Bank Shot.

Vertically oriented painted backglass with a cream/white outer border and a dark teal-blue interior panel crossed by thin vertical lighter-blue pinstripes. Centre is a green-felt pool table seen from above at a steep angle, wooden rails, scattered coloured balls, and a red pendant lamp shade ringed with yellow circles hanging over it. Three main cartoon figures lean over the table with cues: at left a woman in a blue skirt bending low with dark hair; at centre-right a woman in a pink-and-red patterned dress with a cue angled down; at right a man in a black jacket, white shirt and bow tie. Fainter teal-blue silhouette figures of other players sit behind them against the striped wall. Top right is a rectangular reel score window showing digits 0 4,0 1 0, with a small red-and-yellow striped flag/sign above it. The title lettering sits across the lower table area in cream script with a pink outline and drop shadow. Below the picture the border steps out into a wide cream apron with a green chevron and pink triangle motifs. Condition: the glass shows reflections, surface scratches and a taped/paper label on the wall area.

A painted rectangular backglass panel mounted in a cream card border with green and orange chevron shapes along the bottom. The art depicts a billiards parlour: a man in a straw boater hat with a red hatband, yellow spotted shirt, blue trousers and orange gloves leans over a green-felt pool table holding a cue, breaking a cluster of coloured balls (black, blue, green, maroon) with an orange starburst impact effect. To his right stands a woman in a tight red dress covered in yellow polka dots, with a huge swirling red-and-yellow plumed hat, blonde curls, red lipstick and a beaded necklace, one hand outstretched towards the table. Four grinning moustached men in flat monochrome teal line-work frame the scene: one laughing with two cues at a cue rack upper left, one holding a cue behind the table at left, one shouting with arms raised on the right beside a mechanical score unit, and one at bottom right in a wide-brimmed hat holding a cue. Above the table hangs a striped pink-and-orange fringed lampshade. The upper right is a large cream score panel with five mechanical reels reading 0 4,140 and a glowing 100,000 window below. Dominant colours: deep blue background, hot pink and red lettering, cream, green felt.

A portrait-format printed backglass insert set in a white painted cabinet surround. The background of the artwork is a deep navy blue, over which ghostly cyan-tinted photographs of men's faces and upper bodies are scattered as a collage (several grinning male heads at the top right, one figure in a cap on the right edge, more faces down the left margin). Top left: small yellow block capitals reading BALL IN PLAY, beneath which the title is lettered as a small white cursive 'Gottlieb's' over a large stacked two-line script logo, 'Sure' above 'Shot', in fat red letters with a bright yellow inner highlight and a white outline. Top right: a rectangular mechanical score-reel window in a brushed metal frame, five white reels showing 5 2,4 6 0, with a glass reflection across it. Below the reels is a silver instruction-card panel with unreadable small print and a round chrome keyhole escutcheon. The centre of the glass is a cartoon pinball table drawn in perspective: green playfield, blue and red pop bumper caps, chrome wire rails and legs, a red-and-yellow striped apron, and a large yellow swirl of the ball path. Standing at the right of the table is a clown in a red suit covered in yellow polka dots with a big white ruffled collar and a small hat, one arm raised holding a ball. On the left of the table a man in blue overalls and a blue cap leans in towards the playfield. The cabinet is painted white with teal and orange-red chevron arrow stripes; paint is yellowed, scuffed and chipped.
