Fingerprint: Red Baron: Large red triplane with cream-outlined wings dominating upper half, huge round radial-engine cowling, spinning propeller, smaller red biplane banking steeply at left, yellow-orange sunburst behind left windows, black anti-aircraft gun at right, motorcyclist in red shirt leaning through turn in green farmland, countryside aerial view.
A large red triplane with a huge round radial-engine cowling and blurred propeller dominates the upper half, with the words Red Baron in red Gothic script beneath it. Four dark rectangular score windows are stacked symmetrically two per side, each paired with a big green reel digit, all framed in red and white against bright pink-mauve trim. A yellow-orange sunburst erupts behind the left pair of score windows, while a black anti-aircraft gun points skyward at the right edge. A motorcyclist in a red shirt leans through a corner turn in the green farmland below.

A brightly painted backglass on an early-mid twentieth-century aviation theme. Dominating the upper half is a large red triplane with cream-outlined wings, a big radial engine cowling and a spinning propeller, flying toward the viewer against a streaky blue-and-white cloud sky. A second smaller red biplane banks steeply at the left. Below, the words Red Baron appear in heavy red-and-cream Gothic script with a white drop shadow, laid diagonally across the centre. An enormous yellow-orange sunburst explodes behind the left score windows. At the right edge a black anti-aircraft gun on a carriage points up into the sky. The lower third is a painted green patchwork countryside of hills, fields, roads, tiny red-roofed villages and a blue lake, seen from above. Near bottom-centre a motorcyclist in a red shirt and black helmet leans hard into a turn, and a crashed or parked aircraft lies among the fields to the right. Four long dark score windows sit in white-and-red frames, two each side of centre, with green reel digits 1 and 3 on the left and 4 and 2 on the right. Instruction boxes in yellow read CREDITS, EXTRA BALL, BALL IN PLAY and LOTTERY, above a yellow PLAYERS label and four yellow player circles numbered 1 2 3 4. Bright pink-mauve trim frames the lower panels. Colours: red, blue, yellow, green. Condition: photographed behind glass, with glare and a window reflection at top left.
