Fingerprint: Cowboy in bright yellow-orange hat on rail firing revolver with long orange flame and looping grey lasso, faced by slim cowgirl in red-orange outfit with blue scarf crouching left, huge red-orange block letters "WESTSHOW" with striping on yellow ground, seven mechanical score reels across top, blue-grey crowd down left
A cowboy in a yellow hat firing a revolver that trails a long ribbon of orange flame and a looping lasso, squared off against a grinning cowgirl in a red outfit and blue scarf. The huge striped red-orange title WESTSHOW slanted across the yellow ground, backed by a seven-window mechanical score reel showing 0,0 1 0,2 0 0. A monochrome blue-grey crowd of laughing cowboys stacked down the left edge, and a grinning cowboy head cropped into the lower right corner.

A painted Wild-West saloon-street scene, seen through a cream/tan wooden backbox bezel with a rounded rectangular window. Pale blue sky with wispy white cloud streaks fills the upper half, with a dark saloon building at upper left and a blue plank-front building with a lit window and a small sign at upper right. A row of seven mechanical score reels sits in a black banded housing across the top, backed by a white panel with a red star behind it. Below, a grinning cowboy in a bright yellow-orange wide-brimmed hat, red shirt, yellow neckerchief and blue trousers straddles a rail, firing a revolver that spits a long orange flame; a lasso loops from his arm. Facing him at right crouches a slim cowgirl in a red-orange outfit with a blue scarf and long dark hair, grinning. The title WESTSHOW is painted in huge red-orange block letters with white and blue inline striping on the yellow ground. Behind them stands a pale bank building labelled BANK with a flagpole. On the left, a monochrome blue-grey crowd of cheering cowboys in hats; lower right, a grinning cowboy head in a brown hat. Six red starburst medallions run in a row under the title.
