Humpty Dumpty

A tall portrait-format electro-mechanical playfield in a bright ornate western-showcard style. The background is a pale golden-tan wash overlaid by a large green spade or shield shape filling the centre and lower two-thirds, its curved edges sweeping out to the side rails. At the top sits a crowned king bust in a blue medallion, with a handlebar moustache and white ruff collar, flanked by green-and-gold scrollwork and small winged figures. Below it is a red 50,000 cartouche with blue circular ADVANCE BONUS medallions either side. White bumper caps are numbered 1 (upper left) and 2 (upper right), matching 3 and 4 near the flippers. At dead centre is a five-pointed sheriff star badge carrying a SHERIFF banner, with a yellow HIGH SCORE arrow rising above it and red SPECIAL WHEN LIT labels either side. Many small red oval bumpers with white rims dot the field, along with teal 1000 when lit round targets and a small oval 10 000 rollover. The lower playfield is a big yellow five-pointed star studded 20 000, 50 000, 80 000 and 100 000, with a 100 000 points circle at its centre and a curved BONUS banner beneath. Red POP JETS, TILT and ENDS GAME boxes sit bottom right, a red LOCK / KEY / AT 3 OUT OF 5 GATE card bottom left, and a white INSTRUCTIONS card centred on the apron.

A framed, brightly coloured cartoon backglass with a medieval-fairground storybook look. Centre-left a fat egg-shaped king in a jewelled crown, white ruff and blue ermine-trimmed robe sits on a golden throne beneath a tall heraldic back-stand bearing a painted crest and red ribbon banner. Above him, in a cream cloud against a blue sky, the arched title HUMPTY DUMPTY is lettered in alternating red, orange, white and green block capitals outlined dark, with internal lightbulb filaments. A grinning jester in a blue cap, yellow-and-blue diamond patterned tunic and red gloves leans out of the top-left battlement, one arm thrown wide. Left and right stone castle towers carry stacked score panels: 100,000 to 500,000 up the left tower and 10,000 to 70,000 up the right, each numeral in white on a coloured stone band, with tall vertical 60,000 and 70,000 numerals low on the left. Two crossed pennants, one green marked 80,000 and one red marked 50,000, fly from the battlements. A rich red carpet with a gold fringe runs up the centre steps. On the right a group of dancers in low-cut stage costumes — blonde, redheaded and brunette in pink, yellow, orange, blue and white ruffled dresses — pose and stretch, one kneeling with arms raised. Bottom left a blonde in a black feather boa gazes up beside a dark bird. Blue sky, grey-green stone walls, red carpet and flesh-pink figures dominate.
