A ring of brightly coloured flat balloons (orange, green, pale blue, cream) arching over a purple field is the single most memorable element, framing a central roundel with curved gold text reading GOTTLIEB'S and TWO PLAYER. Two tiny fencers duel blade-to-blade in the middle of the roundel under a circled 3. Cream DELUXE scroll banners hang at both sides, and two classical-robed women stand mirrored in the bottom corners. A red script logo and two white instruction placards sit in the upper corners.

A glass-fronted backglass panel with a cream wooden frame and deep purple field. The centre holds a large arch of flat oval balloon shapes in orange, green, pale blue and cream, garlanded over a roundel. Inside, curved gold capitals arc over the top, GOTTLIEB'S on the left and TWO PLAYER on the right, with a large gold-and-red title across the middle. A red script logo on a tan rectangle sits at the roundel's top above tiny print. Two small fencers in white tunics and coloured trunks face each other, blades crossed, under a circled 3. Angled white placards fill the upper corners. Cream scroll banners at mid-left and mid-right both read DELUXE. Two standing women in draped classical robes mirror each other in the bottom corners. Two mechanical score windows with red number badges run along the bottom above a Ball in Play strip on blue waves.
