Fingerprint: 'HOLIDAY' in cream serif capitals under red arrowhead '321 Million', winter resort scene with two skiers in snow, standing man in maroon jacket with hands on hips over seated red-haired woman in yellow swimsuit, diagonal staircase of colored value panels, heavily worn condition.
The diagonal staircase of coloured value panels (900,000 down to 100,000) zig-zagging across the face is the most memorable layout, paired with the big cream serif word HOLIDAY under a red arrowhead reading 321 Million. Three figures anchor the winter scene: a man in a wide-brimmed hat and maroon jacket with hands on hips standing over a seated red-haired woman in a yellow bathing suit, while two women ski at the left. The piece is in terrible condition, with huge irregular patches of the artwork scraped off to bare tan board, especially down the centre and right side. The row of coloured percentage panels (10% to 90%) marching along the very bottom edge is an unusual and easily recalled detail.

A heavily worn pinball backglass on a wooden cabinet frame, with large areas of paint and artwork scrubbed or chipped away to bare tan backing board. In the top left corner, slanted yellow cursive script on dark blue reads Chicago Coin's. Across the top, a red arrowhead panel carries 321 in chunky red numerals outlined dark, followed by Million in large white block letters with a black outline. Below, HOLIDAY is lettered in huge cream/white serif capitals with a heavy black shadow, arcing across the upper third. A stepped diagonal ladder of coloured rectangular value panels runs from top right down to lower left: 900,000 on yellow, 800,000 on dark green, 700,000 on magenta, 600,000 on white with black-outlined numerals, 500,000 on red, 400,000 on green, 300,000 on magenta, 200,000 on white, 100,000 on red, and a small yellow 90%. Along the bottom edge runs a row of percentage panels: 80% green, 70% red, 60% yellow, 50% magenta, 40% white, 30% red, 20% yellow, 10% magenta. The background is a winter holiday scene in white snow, dark blue evergreen trees and pale blue sky. Three figures are painted: a woman skier in red sweater, yellow trousers and white scarf leaning forward on poles; a second woman in a yellow jacket and green trousers skiing at left; and, centre right, a red-haired woman in a yellow swimsuit sitting on the snow with one hand to her brow, beside a standing man in blue trousers, maroon jacket and wide-brimmed hat with a yellow scarf, hands on hips, gazing left.
