Fantastic Antique Old Maid Playing Card Deck, Presumed British Indian box perfect on a deskI can't imagine a more charming set of Old Maid cards than these! I've never seen another set with pairs made by two unlike halves that come together to form one phrase and image (rather than pairs of two identical cards) and what wonderful images and phrases they are! I especially love "Yum Yum" for the kissing couple, which contrasts perfectly with "End of the Honeymoon" right before it, and then that ring split across two sides in "Steady Pull"
