Fingerprint: Full-height Native American woman in multicoloured feathered war bonnet and beaded cream dress against green diamond-lattice background, HARVEST TIME in pink capitals inside white circle, red-and-yellow striped blanket, vertical numeral ladder on left, broad concentric rainbow arcs filling right
The single most memorable element is the full-height painted Native American woman in a multicoloured feather war bonnet, wearing a cream beaded dress and carrying a red-and-yellow striped blanket, standing against a bright green diamond-lattice background. Beside her is a large white circular badge carrying the title 'HARVEST TIME' in big pink capitals under green script. Down the left side, ten white diamonds with red numerals (8, 9, 10, then 7 to 1) form a vertical score ladder, unusual among pinball backglasses. Broad concentric rainbow bands of purple, red, orange and yellow fill the right side, with 'MILLION' in white on a purple banner at the top.

|---|---|
| Woman | One full-height painted woman, native american dress, standing front-facing in the centre-left and overlapping the green lattice. she wears a huge fan-shaped war bonnet of red, white, blue and yellow feathers, dark hair, a large round yellow disc earring, a cream and gold beaded dress with a wide patterned beaded belt, decorated cream leggings with floral sprigs and moccasins. a red-and-yellow striped blanket is draped over her left arm and shoulder, and a pale rounded object hangs at her right hip. her arms are bent, one hand at her waist. |
A wood-framed, wedge-shaped backglass whose left third is a green argyle lattice printed with a cascade of large white diamond tiles, each outlined in black and carrying a chunky red numeral: 8, 9 and 10 across the top row, then 7, 6, 5, 4 descending down a vertical column, and 3, 2, 1 along the bottom. Centre-left stands a full-height painted Native American woman facing the viewer, wearing a towering fan-shaped feather headdress in red, white, blue and yellow, a cream and gold beaded dress with a broad beaded belt, decorated leggings and moccasins, a large round yellow earring, and a red-and-yellow striped blanket draped over her left arm. The right two-thirds is filled by broad concentric sweeps of purple, red, orange and yellow arcing down from the top, like harvest suns. Over these sits a large white circle edged in black, containing the green script word 'Gene's' over the big two-line title 'HARVEST' and 'TIME' in pink block capitals, above an illustration of stacked corn shocks, wheat sheaves and pumpkins. 'MILLION' is printed in white capitals on a purple banner at top right. Heavy scratches, scuffs and paint loss mark the lower edge and the woman's legs.
