Fingerprint: CLASSY BOWLER: Seven white bowling pins numbered 1-7 in arc, blonde in purple leotard holding red bowling ball, red-haired bowler in patterned shirt lunging, three women in coloured swimsuits leaning over lane, bright cartoon style.
A fan of seven white bowling pins numbered 1 to 7 arcing across the upper half, in front of a giant yellow MILLION starburst on a purple field. The lower half is one long bowling lane in exaggerated perspective with girls in swimsuits leaning over it. The title CLASSY BOWLER is split around a white cursive Gottlieb's signature and a small red-and-white maker's plaque. A man in a purple shirt writes on a ruled scorecard at the bottom, next to a blonde woman holding a tall numbered pin.

Illustrated bowling-alley backglass in a bright painted cartoon style, dominated by a wide violet-purple bowling lane running away to the right. Across the top, huge cream block letters with red drop shadow read CLASSY BOWLER, split left and right of a white cursive Gottlieb's signature. Beneath it sits a red rectangular trademark plaque reading A PRODUCT OF / D. Gottlieb & Co / CHICAGO, ILL. U.S.A. Seven white bowling pins with red numbers 1 to 7 fan in an arc across the upper middle, flanking a yellow starburst that reads MILLION in red. Curved ribbon banners of scores arc beneath the pins: 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, 400,000, 500,000, 600,000, 700,000, 800,000 and 900,000, numerals in red or green on cream.

Bottom centre a red-haired man in a purple shirt, seen from behind, writes on a ruled scorecard. On the right three women in blue and yellow swimsuits lean over the lane, smiling. Orange, purple and red balls roll along the cream lane beside blue-grey gutters, over a purple grid-pattern floor. Near the bottom centre, small print reads Amusement Pinballs, by American at Bowls and Bet Days!, flanked by two tiny bowling-pin figures.
