We have another “Old Maid” deck, the 30th in our survey. This one came to me without box, date, or name of publisher; the cards are perforated, so they were probably sold as a sheet. Sad Sam is joined by such cheerfully derogatory characterizations as Fat Fanny, Jitterbug, Sissy, and Uncle Rube; a couple of them, School Marm and Aunt Lizzie, look a lot like the Old Maid. And for some reason, there are two Old Maids. I suppose it’s good to have an extra.

Maybe that Old Maid could cheer up Sad Sam.

I don’t know; she doesn’t look too cheerful either.
