Ah, the Old Maid returns: here she is in a nicely rendered “Peter Pan Card Game” from the Whitman Publishing Company. Again, I’ve selected the painter from the deck, since I always wonder if the anonymous artist has slipped in a self-portrait.
And here’s the Old Maid.

what a giggle she has…………
I think she really was married before and disposed of her husband. The artist is a very wild Hollywood tomboy who studied in Monmarte, Paris while Gene Kelley danced around………maybe it was the actual artist.

This is the best Old Maid rendering that I know of. My grandmother had this set, and it often proved to be difficult to keep a straight face when one had the misfortune of selecting the Old Maid.
