Fingerprint: SALLY: Five oversized coloured block letters spelling SALLY arranged vertically on dark blue feathered splash, ten tilted numbered cards 1-10 flanking left and right, blonde bikini girl on right with arms thrown up, standing in shallow water with dark rocket structure behind, diagonal score ladder under red MILLION banner.

Distinctive

The word SALLY spelled out vertically as five separate oversized coloured block letters (yellow S, white A, red L, dark red L, blue Y) down a dark blue feathered splash, encircled by ten tilted numbered cards 1 to 10. The second most memorable feature is the blonde bikini girl on the right, arms thrown up, standing in shallow water with a dark rocket-like structure behind her. Third is the diagonal score ladder running under a red MILLION banner. The white cursive Chicago Coin script arcing over the top left is the small-print tell.

Full description

A painted cartoon backglass for an electro-mechanical game, sitting in a bare wooden cabinet with wood grain bordering the left and bottom edges. The left two-thirds is a bright sky-blue field with a feathery dark-blue splash running down the centre, carrying five big block letters stacked vertically to spell SALLY in yellow, white, red, dark red and blue with black outlines. Ten tilted rectangular number cards in red, blue, yellow and cream flank the word, white numerals 1 to 10: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 down the left and 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 down the right. Across the top, white cursive script reads Chicago Coin over a red brush-stroke flourish. The right third is a diagonal score ladder topped by a red MILLION banner in heavy white capitals, with cream, yellow and red bands stepping down through 900,000 to 100,000 and then 90,000, 80,000, 70,000. A curved band of 10,000 to 60,000 sweeps along the bottom over pale sand, beside a smiling blonde woman in a red-and-white striped bikini with one arm raised. Paint is chipped along the top and left edges.
