Fingerprint: RONDEEVOO arched on black banner in red capitals, eight cartoon formally-dressed partygoers, grinning violinist in white shirt and red cummerbund centre-left, woman in purple standing, blonde in large purple hat reclining, coloured score card banks like stained glass across upper half, five-pointed stars.

Distinctive

The arched black banner spelling RONDEEVOO in red block capitals with a white keyline, sitting above a crowded band of cartoon formally-dressed partygoers. Two stacked banks of brightly coloured score cards (100-900 over 10-90) fill the whole upper half of the glass like stained-glass windows. A grinning violinist in a white shirt and red waistcoat plays dead centre-left, flanked by a woman in purple and a lounging blonde in a large purple hat. A black top strip with '1 million 2 Million 3 Million 4 Million' separated by stars runs along the very top edge. A yellow magazine prop reading 'FOLIES' with a red cover panel stands at the right edge.

Full description

A vintage illustrated backglass built around a curved black banner carrying the title 'RONDEEVOO' in large red capitals with a white outline and a black drop shadow, arched across the upper middle. Above the banner runs a horizontal strip of bright coloured score cards: an upper bank of tall panels in alternating purple, blue, green, yellow, tan, red, pink and black carrying '100' '200' '300' '400' '500' '600' '700' '800' '900', each with a row of dots beneath, and below it a shorter band of '10' to '90'. Along the very top, on a black ground, sits a jackpot line reading '1 million 2 Million 3 Million 4 Million' in coloured lettering separated by five-pointed stars. Below the banner, a row of eight cartoon people in 1950s formal dress sit and stand on green turf against a flat blue wall. At the left a dark-haired man in a green jacket props his head on his hand; beside him a blonde woman in a red blouse; centre-left a grinning dark-haired man in a white shirt and red cummerbund plays a violin; a woman in purple stands behind him; a black-haired man in a white jacket with a yellow shirt holds a red glass; and at right a blonde woman in a purple hat reclines chin on her hand. At far right a yellow magazine or newspaper prop with a red panel stands on the glass. Small lettering reads 'United's' at the left and 'FOLIES' on the yellow prop.
