I thought we’d come to the end of this second series of “Old Maid” decks; but I’d forgotten this one. It’s a “Built-Rite Toy”: as usual, no date or other data. All of the subjects in this version are children: Fickle Frankie, Rollicking Ruth, Fancy Nancy, and other lively kids. I’ve picked Scary Harry. He seems to be enjoying himself; so does the artist.
And here’s the Old Maid.

a very self reflexive deck……I forgot what it’s like to pull the mouth open this far.

Tim,
I believe they were manufactured approximately 1955 and that they are worth around $9 for a complete set, depending on condition.
Thanks,
Kevin
