Fingerprint: Moonlit desert campfire scene, six cowboy figures gathered around flames, two brown-and-white pinto horses standing behind, large brunette woman in yellow blouse as portrait at lower right, nine colored scoring ovals hanging across middle 100-900, "Yuma" "United's Arizona" stacked on red banner at bottom, saguaro cacti, guitar, serape blanket, deep blue night sky.

Distinctive

A cowgirl camp scene under a huge scoring panel — six tiny campers around a campfire with two pinto horses loose behind them, set between towering saguaro cacti, with a large smiling brunette in a yellow blouse filling the lower right corner. The nine coloured scoring ovals (100 to 900) hang in a rainbow row across the middle of the sky, under a white ribbon reading 'THOUSANDS'. The title is stacked on a red block: 'YUMA' in small white capitals above 'UNITED'S ARIZONA' in tall olive-green letters with a white drop shadow. Two tall green cacti run vertically right through the scoring panel, drawn over the numerals.

Full description

A rectangular backglass with a deep blue night-sky background filling the upper two thirds, framed by a light wooden cabinet edge. The top third is a scoring panel: 'Millions' in flowing yellow cursive script with a long swash, above the huge numerals 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 in alternating yellow, orange, pink, green and white with small white stars between them, then a white ribbon banner reading 'THOUSANDS' in red capitals. Below hang nine coloured ovals — pink 100, orange 200, orange 300, yellow 400, green 500, yellow 600, orange 700, orange 800, pink 900 — with a white scale 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 underneath. The lower third shows a moonlit desert camp scene: towering green saguaro cacti, spiky yucca and agave plants, two brown-and-white pinto horses, a small yellow-green disc in the sky, a campfire with orange flames, and six small figures in cowboy and campaign hats — one in a red shirt playing a yellow guitar, one woman in a magenta blouse and white hat, a man in a teal shirt and white hat, a blonde child in pink, and two standing figures in tan and red. A large smiling dark-haired woman in a yellow blouse is painted as a portrait at the right. A red banner along the bottom reads 'YUMA' over 'UNITED'S ARIZONA' with a striped motif at the right.
