Buccaneer / Ship Ahoy / High Seas

Full-view photograph of a vintage electromechanical-style pinball playfield titled BUCCANEER, shot inside a wooden cabinet with the chrome lockdown bar and ball-shooter visible at the top. The field is a symmetric seascape: a tan-and-burgundy sailing ship at the bottom centre on blue-green water, with white gull shapes flying over the waves and a pink-and-cream star-decorated sky above. A large central roulette-style numbered wheel (1 in the hub, ringed by 2 to 12 on yellow discs, with black wooden-looking peg handles radiating outward) sits mid-field, flanked by two pink star pop bumpers. Above the wheel is a triangle target reading SPIN-A-SPOT with BALL, and a big 1000 disc captioned TOUR WHEN LIT. Five upright cream posts along the top arc carry red numbered insert targets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and drop-target letters. Colours are burgundy/red, mustard yellow, sea green-blue and cream.

A classic wooden-cabinet electro-mechanical playfield shot from directly above through the glass, framed by a cream-and-red pinball side rail on the right. The art is a nautical/pirate scene: a pale blue sea with white curling wave crests across the middle, tan/golden sand and sky filling the lower half, and a fleet of small green-masted sailing ships and a red-sailed galleon arranged along both upper shoulders. Two triangular green-sailed ships flank a large cream compass rose in the centre, which is ringed by a brass-toned wheel of black-outlined numbers 1 through 13. A cluster of three cream pop bumpers sits across the upper third: a middle bumper on a red-and-white base reading 1000, and two side bumpers, the right one reading 500, surrounded by white splash graphics. Bright red mushroom bumpers stamped WOW in yellow sit left and right below those, with two more cream 500 bumpers further out at the sides. Two yellow 5000 lanes, two yellow 500,000 panels, and small red 10 and 11 targets flank the upper playfield. The apron is white with red trim, carrying a SHIP AHOY instruction card, a blue arrow reading FLIPPER BUTTONS ON SIDE OF CABINET, a D. Gottlieb & Co. signature, and an INSERT COIN ONLY WHEN COIN ENTRANCE IS LIT card.

A printed backglass panel with a cream outer border, blue sea-and-sky background and a green island lower right. Top centre-right is a white mechanical score window reading '14 14,15 18 10' in black digits, topped by a gold rococo cartouche with a cupid. Below it the title 'Buccaneer' in large red letters with heavy gold outline and black drop shadow, slanted Old English, with a smaller red-and-white script word above. Left and lower half: a woman in a bright pink puff-sleeved dress, black corset, gold belt, green cuffs and boots, red-banded feathered hat, holding a cutlass; behind her a grinning man in a maroon shirt and red headband pointing; below, a shirtless pirate in blue trousers crouching over a grey cannon on a yellow carriage. Lower right, one in a sleeveless purple shirt and red bandanna and one bare-backed with a pink headscarf work a long musket over an orange fire glow. A three-masted golden ship with red pennants rides at anchor on the right, gulls wheel overhead, a pink skull-and-crossbones flag flies at upper left, and red block text 'BALL-N-PLAY' sits low left.

Painted, cartoon-style backglass of a treasure-hunting scene on a tropical shore. A wide yellow-gold sky fills the upper half; at upper left a ship leans in with a tall red-and-white striped sail and a blue-and-yellow striped sail behind it. A black scalloped score panel with a gold cherub-and-dragon ornament sits across the top right, carrying four mechanical reels showing 5,450. The title is centred, with the small cursive word 'Gottlieb's' above the large two-line title 'High Seas' in bold red serif letters with a gold outline and drop shadow. Left of centre a group of five pirates: a fair-haired man in a scarlet coat, a bare-chested man with a red headband, a man in a broad hat and green shirt, a man in a white shirt and rose-pink breeches with a black belt, and a bare-backed man in blue trousers stooping over a pile of gold. Lower right two more bare-chested men in blue and olive trousers crouch over an open green-painted treasure chest overflowing with yellow coins. A white caption card with two lines of small black text sits at right. Dominant colours are yellow, green, blue and red.

A cartoon-styled pirate backglass. A large three-masted sailing ship in reds, cream and yellow hard on the right, square yellow sails and black rigging, on a green sea under a deep blue sky with gulls; a blank yellow sail shape sweeps in from the top left. Six pirates crowd the deck: at far left a moustached man in a maroon shirt and headscarf; beside him a woman in a hot-pink blouse and trousers, black bobbed hair with pink streaks, pink headband and wide gold buckle belt, holding a pink disc; a shirtless pirate in a maroon cap hauling a rope beside a black cannon on a wooden carriage; and three more pink-and-orange-sashed pirates bent over the rail at low right. A grinning pink skull emblem sits upper left behind rigging. Centre-top an ornate yellow scrollwork cartouche frames five reels reading 46,790, with TILT on the yellow foredeck and a white PREVIOUS HIGH SCORE window at mid-right. BALLS TO WIN runs in red block capitals along the bottom, above a cream cabinet with red and blue chevrons.

Portrait-format painted backglass with a white plastic outer border, photographed on the machine so the playfield edge, four white ball-guide plastics and a '1000 POINTS' bumper are visible below. The artwork shows a pirate raid on a green-tinted choppy sea under a pale blue sky, with a large flat yellow cloud or sand-coloured mass at the top left behind two masts. Five people are drawn: at the left a red-shirted man with a red headband and dark beard stands behind a woman in a bright pink 18th-century pirate dress with a wide yellow belt, green cuffs and green stockings, red heeled boots, and a plumed hat; she leans forward with arms out. Below them a bare-chested man in a red cap and blue trousers crouches over a wooden ship's cannon with black wheels, its barrel pointing right across the deck. At the lower right two more bare-chested men, one in a pink sash and one in olive shorts with a pink headscarf, work at a second cannon. A three-masted yellow-sailed ship with red pennants rolls at the right, gulls fly around it, and a small pink winged shape hovers near the centre. A black-and-gold scroll cartouche of five reel windows sits top right, above the title.
