Fingerprint: 'GLAMOR' in white cursive script with pink-red outline on sunburst-red field, blonde pin-up woman in low-cut red dress reclining lower right with hand shading eyes, curved arc of rounded lozenge panels with colorful digits, diagonal red 'MILLION' lettering, rainbow arc, pin-up glamour style.

Distinctive

The single most memorable feature is the glamorous blonde pin-up woman in a red dress reclining across the lower right, shading her eyes with a raised hand. Close behind that is the unusual curved bank of rounded score panels filled with multi-coloured digits, set against a deep purple band. A large white cursive Glamor script with red-pink outline sprawls across the sunburst-red top. A printed pinball graphic at the lower left edge and the diagonal red MILLION lettering complete an unusually dense, text-heavy layout for a backglass.

Full description

A painted pinball backglass framed by a pale wood-grain bezel. The background is a flat crimson red with yellow sunburst rays fanning out from behind the centre, plus a purple band across the upper middle and a green-yellow-red rainbow arc low on the right. Across the top a large white cursive script logo reads Glamor, outlined in pink-red, with a small registered mark and tiny signature text tucked under the G at the left. To the upper right, angled diagonally, red capital letters spell MILLION on the purple field. A curved arc of white-outlined yellow numerals 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 runs under the logo, and beneath that a wide curved grid of rounded lozenge panels carries small red, orange, green and white digits including 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 0, mimicking a score/slot reel layout. On the lower left edge a printed pinball graphic shows a grey-white sphere with dark holes and red detail. The lower right is dominated by a blonde pin-up woman in a low-cut red dress with white trim, leaning back with one hand raised to her brow, smiling and gazing up-left, with a gold wrist bracelet.
