The whole image is dressed as a showgirl stage: a huge pink curtain with gold ropes and teal swags across the top, and a single towering blue-gilled blonde showgirl in a tight blue dress posing centre-right with a gloved arm curled over her head. The title is not one word but a chain of eight overlapping pink and purple discs spelling BABY on top and DOLL below in glossy blue 3-D block letters. Behind the woman, a yellow spotlight cone holds two green monochrome trumpet players. Six zeroed score windows in a cream panel at upper left and BALLS TO PLAY over a tiger-striped head at bottom left complete it.

A square, head-on view of a printed backglass with a hot pink, teal, purple and yellow palette. Across the top hangs gathered pink theatre curtain with teal swags and two gold rope tassels; a yellow spotlight with an orange housing peeks in at the upper left. Centre-right stands a tall, glamorous cartoon woman with long flowing strawberry-blonde hair, blue eye shadow and heavy lashes, a curled arm resting on the top of her head, wearing a fitted bright blue sleeveless dress and long blue opera gloves, her left hand on her hip. Behind her a yellow-green spotlight beam spreads across a purple floor, with two green-tinted monochrome male musician figures playing trumpets at a stand. The title BABY DOLL is spelled out on overlapping pink, magenta and purple circles with heavy blue block letters, black outline and white highlights, arranged in two staggered rows. Upper left a cream panel carries six shaded blue rectangular score windows all reading 0, and a small green-and-white Segasa logo sits just above the title. Bottom left reads BALLS TO PLAY in black over an orange tiger-striped head.

Fingerprint: PACK LAND with beehive-coiffed woman at center, cloaked in swirling pink and teal bands; four reel windows symmetrically arranged with scroll flourishes and gold ornaments; playing cards and hearts scattered upper right; blue-green pond with reeds lower left; soft pastel palette, watercolor-style execution on black background
The artwork is unusually pictorial rather than graphic: a single elegant woman with an enormous powder-blue beehive hairdo occupies the exact centre, framed symmetrically by four separate numbered reel windows instead of the usual single row. Her cloak is painted as three sweeping bands of pink, pale blue and mint that curve around her like a pinwheel, and she holds a fanned hand of playing cards printed with pink hearts. Every player number sits inside a matching pair of gold scroll flourishes topped with a row of pink beads, with the blue-and-white flame motif repeated four times as a visual rhyme. The lower-right title is a bold Art Deco wedge of alternating cream and black bars, almost the only hard-edged geometric shape in an otherwise soft, painterly scene, paired with a cursive Williams and the line 1 TO 4 CAN PLAY. Four pastel suits, hearts and spades crowd the upper-right corner behind the number 2, echoing the card motif from her hand. The glass shows age: dust and fine surface haze, small chips along the top edge and near the lower-left water area, and mild scratching over the black field.
Setting
- A stylised nocturnal outdoor scene. upper left, tall pale turquoise trunks or a waterfall column rise from a grassy bank. lower left is a blue-green pond with reeds and pink wildflowers. upper right is a dark treeline with a pale spiky shrub. dotted teal lines arc across the black ground suggesting terrain or a winding path.
Symbols
- Clusters of pastel playing-card suits (hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs) in the upper right and scattered near the centre; a fan of heart-suit cards in the figure's hands; large spade pips on the skirt; four identical blue-and-white flame motifs beneath the reel windows; four cream numerals with gold scroll flourishes and pink bead rows; pink wildflowers and blue-green grass tufts in the lower left.
Lettering
- Two distinct hands. the title is a heavy geometric art deco wedge of alternating cream and black bars, set on three staggered lines and slanted to the right. the player numerals 1-4 are a bold cream slab with red shadowing inside gold scroll cartouches. ball in play and 1 to 4 can play are a plain condensed sans serif in white with a dark outline. the name williams is a small white cursive script preceded by a circled w.

A painted pinball backglass in a light wood-toned frame, dominated by a glossy black night background. At centre stands a single stylised female figure with a tall pale-blue beehive coiffure, dark arched brows and heavy blue eye shadow, wearing a red halter bodice, a gold fringed shawl over one shoulder and a swirling pink-and-blue cloak; she holds a fan of playing cards at waist height. Four separate player stations are arranged round her, each with a white reel window showing cut-out digit shapes, a bank of pale blue and red flames beneath it, and a number in cream script flanked by gold scrolls and pink dots: 1 upper left, 2 upper right, 3 mid left, 4 mid right. Upper left carries a pale turquoise waterfall or tree-trunk column; upper right a dense cluster of pastel playing-card suits and hearts. Lower left shows a blue-green pond with reeds, grass and pink flowers, carrying the text BALL IN PLAY. Lower right holds the striped cream-and-black title block, the script name Williams, four circled numerals and 1 TO 4 CAN PLAY.

A brightly coloured cartoon backglass dominated by a full-height blonde woman in a shiny turquoise-blue satin evening gown with a fluffy white ruffled collar and puffed sleeve, standing centre stage with one leg crossed in front of the other, eyes half-lidded with heavy blue eye shadow, red lips parted, and holding a slim cigarette holder or microphone in her raised right hand. Behind her is a yellow and lavender stage with a purple star-speckled backdrop and heavy pink and red swagged theatre curtains with teal valances and gold tassels across the top.
