Fingerprint: CRISS CROSS curved yellow logo with red and blue outline, starburst behind lettering, woman in red polka-dot bikini and red headscarf standing in shallow water, two other bathers, yellow-red sunburst disc at mid-right, numbered ladder on right with digits 7 down to 1 in red and green, BONANZA label, pale blue sea-and-sky background, 1950s cartoon beach scene, cream and red accent colours.
The defining feature is the seaside bathing scene: a woman in a red polka-dot bikini and red headscarf seen from behind at the waterline, with two other bathers and a yellow sunburst disc behind her. A long numbered ladder on the right side of the glass, with the digits 7 down to 1 in large red and green type against alternating red and cream rows of numbers, occupies a full third of the backglass. The title is a curved, star-backed logo in yellow with red and blue outline, not a bold block word. The setting is water and sky only, with no buildings, just a red ring and a bathing figure.

Photographed in a games room as a full electro-mechanical machine, but the artwork of interest is the tall backglass: a beach scene with three figures against a pale blue sea-and-sky background. At the top a curved two-word logo in yellow letters outlined red and blue reads CRISS CROSS, with a small strip of lettering above it and a starburst behind the letters. Left of centre a woman in a red-and-white polka-dot two-piece swimsuit and a red kerchief stands knee-deep in the water, seen from behind and looking over her shoulder; behind her a man in a white sleeveless vest and blue shorts leans forward. Right of them a smaller woman in a yellow top and blue shorts wades out to the right, arm raised. A yellow-and-red sunburst disc sits at mid-right, with a red ring motif near the waterline. The right third of the glass is a scoring panel: red and cream alternating rows of numbers beside large coloured digits running 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, printed in red and green, under a small red nameplate banner reading BONANZA. Dominant colours: sky blue, cream, red, yellow. Painted cartoon style with airbrushed water. The playfield visible below is cream with red star and card-suit graphics and round yellow-white posts.
