Golden Arrow

Illuminated pinball playfield photographed in its cabinet, shot from above with the wooden side rails visible. Dominated by a hot orange-red and gold palette with white, black and purple accents. Three round white pop-bumper caps span the upper third, the centre one ringed by a red band reading 1000 WHEN LIT. Behind them an arched top lane area carries flame motifs and a five-pointed gold star containing a starburst, flanked by two white ribbon banners. The centre of the field holds a white-and-gold pyramid of chevrons marked with a numbered ring of small round bumpers 1 through 10, a small round bump cap, the words SPECIAL WHEN LIT, and a red ball sitting below. The lower half is a bold gold shield on a red field with a Native American chief in a full feathered headdress, bare-chested, holding a tomahawk, standing beside a smoking campfire; a yellow scroll beneath reads D. Gottlieb & Co. Two side lanes each show a Native American bust in a headdress inside a red-and-gold shield, above small 500 and 900 score values. White triangular patterned borders frame the aprons, which carry instruction cards.

A painted, comic-book-style backglass in a cream plastic frame with a red-and-orange chequered geometric border. The upper left carries a small white script word 'Gottlieb's' above a huge title 'Golden Arrow' in bold yellow-orange sans-serif capitals with a red drop shadow, a green-tipped gold arrow graphic running horizontally through the word 'Golden', and a golden wheat-sheaf motif beneath. Upper right holds a five-window mechanical score reel reading 0 1,710 inside a multicoloured Aztec-diamond patterned bezel, with a smaller yellow-bordered reel below reading 100000. Left of centre stands a single male figure: a bare-chested, orange-tanned indigenous warrior in profile facing right, wearing a beaded necklace, a turquoise-blue loincloth with red-and-white trim, a blue-and-red feathered headband with a rosette, and yellow moccasins; he lunges on a red rock outcrop with left arm raised and right arm extended, drawing a large blue bow with a nocked arrow aimed right. Below him at lower left is the severed head of a brown buffalo with a red-painted face and horns. The background is a dramatic red-and-orange streaked sunset sky with a rainbow arc at the left, purple-grey distant cliffs and conifer trees at the right, and pines along a brown ridge.

A square, rounded-corner backglass dominated by a hot red sky with jagged red-and-white streaks radiating from a pale white sunburst at the top centre. A cream banner spans the top, edged above and below with a band of repeating red, green and yellow diamonds; inside sit brown stencil numerals reading 2 9 4 6,0 0 0. The central figure is a bare-chested, muscular dark-skinned man crouching barefoot on one knee on ochre-green rocks. He wears a yellow feathered headdress with two upright plumes, a beaded feather collar, a blue-black loincloth and yellow-and-red patterned arm and thigh bands. Leaning left, he cocks his right arm back over his shoulder and extends his left forward, gripping a large dark blue bow held vertically, a long black arrow with white fletching drawn across his chest. Yellow and white feathered arrows fly through the air around him. Lower left is a spotted animal-hide drum, white with red blotches and blue-grey rosettes, an arrow stuck in it, with a wooden club and feathered skull beside. Lower right, against dark conifer trees and a cliff edge, sits a yellow block of lettering. Flat, heavily black-outlined comic-book airbrush art.

Tall portrait-format painted backglass dominated by a single large word, SISTERS, in heavy rounded sans-serif capitals across the lower third, letters filled bright red-orange with a thick white outline and a dark drop shadow, slightly arched. Behind and above the title are three young women drawn in a clean 1970s airbrushed poster illustration style, grouped tightly inside an oval frame. Left figure: a brunette with shoulder-length hair and bangs, smiling, in a red top with white horizontal stripes, head tilted slightly in. Centre figure: a red-haired woman in a bright green blouse with a wide ruffled collar, smiling straight ahead, positioned slightly lower and larger than the others. Right figure: a blonde woman with long curly hair, in a white outfit, head tilted down towards the centre. The background is an abstract kaleidoscopic field of red, blue, orange, yellow and magenta shapes radiating outward. A black rectangular grille or bezel runs across the upper area. A bright white starburst glare from a camera flash obscures the upper centre, and a white rectangular sticker is stuck at the lower right.
