Full description

A landscape-format painted backglass. Across the top, a maroon-purple banner carries nine oval score panels in two staggered rows reading 1 MILLION through 9 MILLION, each numeral in a different colour (white, green, blue, red, white, yellow, blue, pink, white) on coloured ovals with white caps lettering; at the right sits a green and yellow diamond-shaped logo reading Williams in black script, next to a white ball. The game title TUCSON spans the upper centre in huge chunky red-orange slab block capitals with heavy black and white outlines, laid over a sky. The centre panel is a painted desert scene: a blonde woman in right-facing profile at lower left wears a magenta headscarf, a large gold hoop earring and a blue-and-white patterned blouse with a deep magenta collar, chin lifted and eyes half closed. To the right a cowboy in a red shirt, white neckerchief and red wide-brimmed hat with a feather stands beside stacked wooden barrels and a tan bucket, against yellow-green sky, white clouds, blue distant mountains, saguaro cactus and flat scrubland. Scoring ovals run down both side columns, and a bottom strip of eight coloured boxes numbered 1 to 8 identifies players.
