Fingerprint: "OH BOY!": enormous curved red bulb-serif title with black keyline and yellow highlight, grinning man in red sleeveless vest swinging wooden mallet through letters, harlequin diamond band, harbour with suspension bridge
The single most memorable feature is the enormous curved red bulb-serif title 'OH BOY!' with a heavy black keyline and yellow fill highlight, sitting over a yellow-and-white harlequin diamond background. Close behind it: a grinning man in a red sleeveless shirt swinging a wooden mallet upward through the letters, and a green shield sign beneath reading 'IT'S MORE FUN TO COMPETE / 1 OR 2 / CAN PLAY'. Another strong identifier is the pair of orange score windows with white reels at the top, labelled '1st PLAYER' and '2nd PLAYER', over a painted harbour skyline with a red suspension bridge, a liner and a flying saucer. The row of five coloured balls with 'BALL IN PLAY' in red under the shield completes the layout.

A cream-and-black plastic bezel around a 1960s-style comic backglass, photographed on a brick wall with a second glass-fronted panel cropped at the far left. Three horizontal zones. Top: two orange-red rectangular score windows with white number reels, labelled '1st PLAYER' and '2nd PLAYER', set over a painted harbour cityscape of skyscrapers, a red suspension bridge, a white ocean liner and a small flying saucer on blue water. Centre: a yellow-and-white harlequin diamond band with 'TWO PLAYER' in orange capitals and the title 'OH BOY!' in huge curved bulbous red letters, black keyline, yellow highlight, partly overlapped by a grinning man in a red sleeveless vest swinging a wooden mallet upward through the letters. Below him a green shield reads 'IT'S MORE FUN TO COMPETE', '1 OR 2', 'CAN PLAY'; beneath that a row of five coloured balls and 'BALL IN PLAY' in red. Lower half: seven cartoon women in swimsuits — blonde in green bottom left, brunette in a red halter beside the man, red-haired in a red leotonn with both arms up at centre-right, blonde in red bottom right, plus three at the outer edges on ledges and platforms.
