Vintage Mutoscope cards

Joe brought in some of his collection of old Mutoscope cards.

Mutoscope cards 5.25" x 3.25" cards, usually of "pin-up" material, published during the 1940s by the International Mutoscope Reel Company and other firms. They are not individual pictures from mutoscope reels and have no connection whatsoever to the mutoscope motion-picture device. All carry the inscription "A Mutoscope card." They were sold from coin-operated vending machines in places such as amusement parks.

Joe found a bunch of these cards and we'll post a few of 'em every so often... so check back regularly.
