Jack In The Box / Jumping Jack

A tall, portrait-format backglass of a mid-century single-player electro-mechanical game, mounted in a metal cabinet frame with visible screws and a green-tinted service sticker in the upper-left corner. The composition is symmetrical about a central vertical axis. A broad fan of orange, red and yellow sunburst rays fills the arched top, flanked by two blue-and-cream ornate scroll panels and a teal-green arch. Across the upper third sit two windows showing printed number reels, a row of five yellow lozenge-shaped score panels each with a black numeral (50, 40, 30, 20, 10), and a line of long yellow downward arrows pointing at a row of pink circular value discs. White lettering on red banners reads LIT HOLE SCORES 1000 POINTS & MORE 10X BONUS VALUE, BONUS VALUE WHEN LIT and 10 X BONUS VALUE. The main field is bright magenta-pink, with a cream triangular arrow shape in the centre reading DROP TARGETS SCORE 50 POINTS and LAST TARGET SCORES BONUS. Two large white circles with black and red rings, each reading 100 POINTS, sit left and right of a small green rectangular logo panel. Lower down is a green arrow reading SAME PLAYER SHOOTS AGAIN above a red BONUS lozenge. The bottom third is a white instruction area with a blue-bordered JUMP BACK card, a red-outlined FLIPPER BUTTON WILL RETURN CREDITS panel, and a CREDIT BALL box. Colours: magenta pink, teal green, yellow and orange, with black and white lettering throughout.

A bright painted backglass dominated by a huge grinning clown bursting out of a striped circus box in the centre. The clown has a blue top hat tipped back, a bulbous red-and-white striped nose, a wide red open smile, yellow-and-black star-spangled costume, and long blue-and-green striped arms spread wide. Four rectangular score windows with white roller drums and black digits sit in the corners (two upper, two lower) on a deep red field, with a blue-and-white radiating burst of stars behind the central figure. Around the clown are about ten female showgirls in bright yellow, green, blue and pink outfits with bare legs and bare feet: one leaping at upper left in green trousers and a yellow top, a blonde seated cross-legged at left, one reclining at bottom left, one in a blue top and green shorts holding a red-and-white striped circus hat, a brunette in a pointed white party hat and pink-and-white striped socks at right, and one at far right in a yellow top, red shorts and a green cap. Additional clown heads with yellow pointed hats and red noses peek from the corners, with stars, an eight-pointed red starburst and a small white card marked 10 scattered about. The title lettering sits centre in red block capitals with white outlines on a blue panel, with a cursive word above it and a small italic subtitle below. Playfield-wooden cabinet surround visible, with reflections and minor wear.

Landscape-format backglass with a cream wooden outer frame and glass front, painted in flat cartoon-comic style. Background is deep magenta-red with a large blue star field and radiating lighter rays. The top edge carries two white rectangular score windows (left with four digit positions, right with five) set in black bezels, flanked by grinning clown faces inside yellow triangular hats, plus a red-petalled flower with a smiling face at its centre. Dominating the centre is a giant grinning clown head with white face, red bulbous nose, red lips, orange-blond hair and a tall blue top hat patterned with white stars. Below him a large yellow starburst carries the main title in bold red capitals with yellow shading and a dark drop shadow. Left side reads BALL IN PLAY in white block capitals; right side reads IT'S MORE FUN TO COMPETE! in yellow. Lower right reads PLAYERS in yellow capitals, 1 or 2 in white numerals, CAN PLAY, AT THE SAME TIME! Around the starburst are six scantily-clad cartoon women in bright leotards (yellow, blue, green, red) posed dancing, tumbling and reclining among small white and yellow stars. A tiny green artist signature plaque sits at the bottom centre.

A 1974 electro-mechanical pinball backglass: a flat, brightly coloured cartoon painting on a red field with a magenta/pink and blue geometric starburst behind the art. Top centre is a large grinning clown head with a red-and-white striped conical hat tipped with blue-and-yellow polka-dot and star panels. Two white rectangular score windows sit high left and high right, reading '11,940' and '00,000' in black roller digits. Below the centre, an arched block-letter logo in red with white outline reads 'JUMPING JACK', with the script 'Williams' above it and 'a Game of Skill' beneath. The clown is ringed by female acrobats: a blonde in a blue two-piece swimsuit seated at lower left, a red-haired figure in a yellow leotard with arms flung wide at upper left, a blonde in a red two-piece at mid-right standing with arms raised, a brunette in a red leotard dancing at lower right, and a jester in a yellow star-spangled costume and pointed hat crouched at bottom centre beside fanned playing cards. Small clowns and yellow stars fill the top border. Cartoon art, slightly faded and scuffed, with the white cabinet rail visible below.
