Fingerprint: Raw Hide in arched yellow slab-serif lettering crowning a desert landscape, red-haired cowgirl in polka-dot sunbonnet dominating lower right, team of spotted oxen pulling a covered wagon through turquoise water at left, four black reel windows with yellow PLAYER badges in pairs, flat saturated comic style with magenta and orange sky

Distinctive

The most memorable feature is the huge arched yellow slab-serif western title with a heavy white and dark brown outline, sitting under a small white italic word against a magenta striped sky. A second strong memory hook is the bottom-right red-haired cowgirl in a red polla-dot sunbonnet, drawn far larger than everything else and looking out at the viewer. Third, the four-player layout is unusual: four black reel windows in two stacked pairs, each with its own yellow oval PLAYER badge, flanked by black triangular UP points. Fourth, the covered-wagon ox team with four horned brown-and-white speckled oxen surging through turquoise river water at left.

Full description

A landscape-format backglass painted in flat, saturated comic-book illustration. The top third is a magenta and rose banded sky over an orange and yellow desert horizon, with a big chunky yellow slab-serif western title arched across the top and a smaller white italic word above it. Four black oval-ended score windows with cream number reels and small yellow oval PLAYER badges sit in two pairs across the upper half, flanked by black triangular UP points. The lower half is a green and blue river landscape: a white canvas-covered pioneer wagon with a pale green-bearded driver stands in the mid-distance, a team of four brown and white spotted oxen yokes the wagon at left, and a cowboy in a yellow hat and green shirt rides a pale horse at centre-right. At bottom right a large red-haired woman in a red top and red polka-dot sunbonnet holds a dark rein or rope in her right hand. Along the bottom edge a row of small red and orange circles carries the numerals 1 2 3 4, flanked by tiny white text reading 1 TO 4 CAN PLAY on the left and BALLY WILL PLAY on the right, with a lone white 2 centred below. Colours: magenta, yellow, orange, green.

Distinctive

A grinning horned devil drawn in white chalk on the green chalkboard, right beside a boy drawing with chalk. The score display is disguised as a row of four mechanical number cards reading 0100 set into the front of the teacher's desk. A bold yellow arrow banner at the bottom reads BALL IN PLAY with a red arrow pointing right. A blonde boy in a red sweater vest offers a shiny red apple to the smiling teacher.

Full description

A cartoon classroom scene painted in flat mid-century comic style. The back wall is pink with a large green chalkboard filling the centre; at top left a round white wall clock hangs beside a multi-pane window showing blue sky and green foliage. Lettered across the board in large slanted red capitals with white and black drop shadows is TEACHER'S PET, with a smaller red script wordmark and a white circle emblem at the board's top left corner. Eight figures: a blonde woman teacher in a pale blue blouse seated at a pink-topped desk writing with a pen; a freckled dark-haired boy in a red sleeveless sweater at a desk in the left foreground with a strap over his shoulder; a cluster of four children at the far left including a red-haired boy in a green-and-white striped top, a blonde girl, a brunette girl in a yellow polka-dot dress, and a small red-haired head peeking over them; a blond boy in a red vest holding a red apple; and a red-haired boy in a yellow shirt at the right drawing on the board. The chalkboard bears a white chalk outline of a grinning horned devil figure. A pale panel below the desk holds four mechanical score reels reading 0100, above a yellow plate reading PLAY FLIPPER SKILL GAMES FOR FUN AND RECREATION. A yellow arrow banner at the base reads BALL IN PLAY with a red arrow. Dominant colours: green board, pink walls and floor, red lettering, pale blue and yellow accents. Pale green textured strip along the very bottom edge.

Full description

Tall portrait-format painted backglass set in a white wooden outer frame. The right half is dominated by a smiling young blonde woman in three-quarter view, chest up: large floppy bright red hat with a wide curled brim, long wavy yellow-blonde hair, red low-cut blouse with a white collar and a thin black string tie, and long yellow gauntlet gloves. She faces left and holds a slim wooden knitting needle or crochet hook across the bottom edge. The left half carries two horizontal mechanical score reels with white digit wheels and black end caps, set in white bands; between and below them sit small red banners naming the players. Beneath the reels a painted cowboy in a tan wide-brimmed hat and dusty-pink shirt leans forward beside a bleached white cow skull and green prickly-pear cactus. A tall condensed red title in slanted capitals with a black outline sits over green rolling hills in the lower left. The background is a sunlit desert panorama: orange and rust-red rock mesas and buttes, tan cliffs, a flat peach-and-orange sky with streaks of cloud, a winding pale road, and a dark brown grazing animal near the lower centre. Small black lettering runs along the bottom left edge.

Fingerprint: SWAMP logo dripping blood-red, grinning pin-up in scarlet hat with basket, yellow-green alligator lurking in foliage, mechanical reel windows, hand-painted comic style, bright green swamp bank, scarlet and black.

Distinctive

The single most memorable feature is the enormous SWAMP logo rendered as if melting or dripping, in blood-red letters with heavy black shadow, sitting on a bright green swamp bank. Beside it a grinning pin-up woman in a huge scarlet hat and yellow gloves leans over a woven basket, looking straight out at the player. Three white mechanical reel windows stacked down the left half, each paired with a red SUPER, EXTRA BALL and SHOOT AGAIN banner, make the left side look like an instruction card rather than artwork. A yellow-green alligator head with an open toothy jaw lurks in the foliage just above the lower reel window.

  • Swamp water and lily pads

Full description

A hand-painted comic-style backglass dominated by a huge dripping red-and-black logo reading SWAMP across the lower left, set on a bright green swamp bank. On the right half stands a smiling pin-up woman in a wide-brimmed scarlet hat, a red blouse with a white collar, a yellow scarf at her throat, yellow gloves and a studded belt; she leans forward over a woven brown basket or crate with one gloved hand resting on its rim. Above her, three horizontal reel-style score windows show black digits 5, 8 and 9 plus a red K on white numbered reels, each paired with a red banner reading SUPER, EXTRA BALL and SHOOT AGAIN. The upper left background is a brick-red and ochre wall with a dark tree trunk and a slanting rope or wire. The middle band is a jumble of swamp life: a yellow-green alligator or crocodile head with a toothy open jaw, white star-shaped flowers, green lily pads, brown logs and pinkish-orange foliage. A small white-on-dark copyright line sits at the bottom edge. Dominant colours are scarlet red, mossy green, yellow and black, in flat comic-book shading with heavy black inking and a thin black border.
