Game On! > Concentration (1962)



I have an older version of this game with a bolder, more illustrative box, so this one was mined for assemblage / collage material.  Nice item, though... and a veritable treasure trove of early '60s graphics in and of itself.  I bet this game was a real family event (in its day) when brought out for an afternoon or evening of game time entertainment.

A Day's Take: Clicker. Stirrer. Cards, Etc.

















A few of the fun vintage items that I collected during a Saturday trip to some flea markets with two friends.  
Incidentally, the grand total for the items featured here is less than 5 dollars.

Space-O!

I'm not sure if this flea market find is 1950s or 60s (the package is undated) but it's got a gorgeous set of graphics. If only the box were in better shape....

Old Maid

Details from a beautifully illustrated deck of 1950s Whitman Old Maid Game Playing Cards that I purchased at a flea market last year. With character names like "Salty Junk" and "Betty Bumps" this is a pretty unique deck.
