The central portrait of a woman in a crimson dress with an enormous red feather headpiece, one black-gloved arm raised to her hair, set inside a tilted playing-card-like panel. Surrounded by a fan of coloured card backs and a ring of big numbered scoring values 100,000 to 900,000. Three separate pin-up women are painted into small panels down the left and right edges.

Full description

Brightly coloured backglass on an electro-mechanical game. The centre holds a large tilted panel, purple at the top and white below, bearing a small yellow script logo reading Keeney's and, below it, the title Cover Girl in tall flowing red script with a blue drop shadow. On the panel is a large head-and-torso portrait of a pale-skinned woman with black hair swept up, red lipstick, a big red feathered headpiece, a low-cut crimson dress with puffed sleeves and a dark corset, and a long black glove, her head turned left towards the title. Behind her is a solid purple oval containing a plain green circle. Above the panel, coloured rectangular bars (red, blue, green, yellow) fan out like a spread of cards against a deep blue field. The top edge carries a ribbon of scoring values in separate coloured panels: 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, 400,000, 500,000 across the top, then 600,000 and 700,000 down the left and 800,000 and 900,000 down the right, each in white numerals outlined in black on yellow, red, purple, red and green backgrounds. The left column stacks the numerals 5, 3 and 1 beside small painted panels of reclining and seated women in blue, black and red dresses. The right column stacks 6, 4 and 2 beside a blonde head, a seated blonde woman in a blue swimsuit and another blonde head. The bottom strip shows 10,000 through 90,000 in nine small coloured ovals. Wood edges are visible; paint is chipped and scuffed along the lower left.
