NICE VTG Whitman Mini Card retailer Games Boxed Set of 6 with Authors, Old Maids, Hearts, Animal Rummy, Crazy Eights, Snap, All COMPLETE
A NICE boxed set (in a hard plastic case) of 6 vintage Whitman.
A NICE boxed set (in a hard plastic case) of 6 vintage Whitman mini card games made in the U.S.A. by retailer Western Publishing Co. Inc. The set includes: Authors, Old Maid, Hearts, Animal Rummy, Crazy Eights, and Snap. They have adorable graphics. Another listing for the same exact set attributed these to the 1950s. I think they are from the 1960s.
These are in VERY NICE condition with only minimal wear. They don't appear to have been used or - if they were used - just lightly used. The boxes are in nice condition as are the cards. All have their instructions and appear to be complete. The photos do no show all of the cards. Some are stacked in the photos:
1. Authors has 44 cards plus the instruction card.
2. Old Maid has 42 cards (21 pairs) plus the Old Maid card plus the instruction card. This is the only set that doesn't have 44 cards but according to the instruction card, this is correct.
3. Hearts has 44 cards (4 suits with 11 cards) plus the instruction card.
4. Animal Rummy has 44 cards plus the instruction card.
5. Crazy Eights has 4 suits each with 11 cards for a total of 44 cards plus the instruction card.
6. Snap has 44 cards plus the instruction card.
The plastic box is cracked and shows wear. Please see Photo 10.
Each box of cards measures 2.5" high x 1.75" wide x 5/8" deep.
