Fingerprint: CRAZY CLOCK in enormous red capitals with black-white outlines spanning top, deep-blue diagonal stripe bisecting cream background, ornate gold clock medallion with radial spokes at centre, two scantily-clad pin-up figures on red panel, large red sphere on yellow panel, dual score-window banks labeled player numbers, geometric art-deco styling
The title CRAZY CLOCK is written in enormous red block capitals with heavy black and white outlines, spanning nearly the full width of the top third. Two separate score-window banks are labelled 1ST PLAYER and 2ND PLAYER, the first bank visibly shorter with four windows and the second with five. The centrepiece is a circular gold clock or gear medallion with radial spokes and winged gold scrollwork, its round window showing a red letter over a white disc with a red C. A large red sphere sits on a yellow panel on the right next to a small window reading TIME PLAY, while two pin-up style women in costume occupy a red panel on the left. A broad navy-blue diagonal stripe cuts across the cream background from the upper right down to the lower left.

A painted pinball backglass on a pale cream-yellow ground, dominated by a broad deep-blue diagonal band running from upper right to lower left. Across the top sits the title CRAZY CLOCK in huge red capital letters with black and white outlining, straddling the blue band. Below the title are two banks of dark rectangular mechanical score windows set in gold frames: a shorter bank of four on the left labelled 1ST PLAYER, and a bank of five on the right labelled 2ND PLAYER. The centre is dominated by an ornate gold clock-face medallion with radiating rays, wing-like scrollwork above, and a gold arrow shape below; inside its round window is a red letter above a pale disc carrying a red C. On the left, two scantily-clad female figures stand on a red angular panel, one blonde with arms raised. On the right, a large red ball rests on a mustard-yellow angular panel beside a small dark window labelled TIME PLAY. Small red lettering at the top left and small yellow lettering at the bottom left sit near the frame edge.
