“Skeeter,” from Arrco, offered pictures of a variety of bugs and worms, all in this vivacious style. You collected and discarded cards; if a Skeeter appeared, the first player to slap it got all the discards.

gorgeous!
Any idea of the date? Looks like 50s to me.

There’s no date, but they look ’50s to me too.

these are very beautiful..I like the firefly’s sparkly dust. The drawing styles are good…does look like late 50’s. Yesterday I saw a good show at “Japan Society” of Japanese Art Deco and the firefly reminds me of some of the graphic images in that show….it’s free entry Friday night 6-9pm. People should check it out….

This whole deck is a graphic delight. I’ll have to make it over to that show…
