We were quite taken by this funny postcard - as we are by all dogs playing poker - because of a painting from long, long ago. Our veterinarian was way out in the country - it seemed so many miles away when I was a little girl - but it was only about 5 miles. Dr. McClement was the kindest gentlest man and I was in awe of his knowledge about cats, dogs, birds, horses and even our ducks, turtles and white mice! Doc's walls were filled with these portraits and I think I really believed that he secretly held card parties for his patients! Printed in USA 2March2010 Price: $1.25 Each Qty:

Close-Up Full Sheet of Vintage Coca-Cola (COKE) Bingo Markers More Ephemera More Toys & Games Coke items are always popular and we love this sheet of vintage Coca-Cola bingo markers! Each of the markers is circular and is perforated, so that you can punch each one out individually, if you please. The entire sheet is 5-1/2 inches square, making each of the markers around 7/8 inch in diameter. These sheets are new old stock - never used. The top and bottom edges show what looks like some rough wear. But, really it was the perforation for tearing the sheets apart. The sheets came in long strips and were torn off as needed. These were used for bingo games in charity halls and military canteens in the 1940s through the 1950s. These are great for lots of reasons! Of course, Coke collectors will love the sheet as is. But, consider punching out the markers and using them in an invitation to a 1940s or 1950s-style party. Or, wouldn't one be just great in scrapbook featuring a World War II romance at the canteen? Cokes were the rage, that's for sure! Although older, they are modern enough looking that they could be used in a modern collage or memory book as well. At 22¢ per marker, there are just so many possibilities!

Created initially as a system to understand your dreams and apply the meanings to your gambling for luck, *Aunt Aunt Sally's Policy Players Dream Book* holds nine alphabetical lists of objects, people and situations that might comprise, or indeed, invade, your dreams. These are accompanied by interpretations and associated lucky numbers for playing policy. Policy was an illegal (and now obsolete) lottery once popular in the African American community, although certainly many others played as well! The reference was also used for playing the numbers as well, a similar illegal betting game. The cover of the book features a certainly politically incorrect illustration, but it is true to the original. Also included is a reprint of a 19th century French divination system called the Oraculum (or Napoleon's) Book of Fate, based on an old Arabic system of sand-divination commonly called geomancy. You'll also be able to find your own personal lucky (and unlucky) numbers. This very useful little reference was first published in the 1890s. Ours is a facsimile reprint of a 1920s edition. The 122 pages are both informative and fun. Printed in USA 26November2006 Price: $7.50 each Qty:
