Originally, the Mutoscope was an early coin-operated arcade device that allowed one person at a time to watch 'moving pictures' (often peep shows) by essentially quickly flipping though a book of still images on stiff card stock.This machine was marketed by the American Mutoscope Company starting in 1895.
A subsequent firm, International Mutoscope Reel Company, manufactured penny-arcade type machines in the 1930s and '40s, including ones that dispensed 5.25-by-3.25-inch cheesecake c...ards of young women in various states of undress.
This is one of those cards.
This one is titled, "Start The Ball rolling", and is marked, "A Mutoscope Card" and "Made In U.S.A." . It still has good color and it is in pretty good condition considering the age. There are signs of wear and handling. Please see the pictures for condition.
This is an estate find, and I have no other information or history about this item.I will combine shipping on multiple purchased cards.
