Guarantee Of Protection

Guarantee Of Protection ac1

The second in a short series from the Exhibit Supply Company that was based out of Chicago:  A man’s Guarantee of Protection, in the event that he answers his wife or sweetheart truthfully. This guarantee was good for 5 minutes and signed by Too Bad (secretary) and Outa Luck (president). This card has a little bit of dried glue or some type of substance on the front, so it’s condition is not quite as good as the other two.

Vintage arcade card from the Exhibit Supply Company, Chicago. Circa 1944.  Size:  5 and 5/16 x 3 and 5/16″

Lump of Sugar

Old arcade card from about 1922, produced by the Exhibit Supply Company. ESCO was based out of Chicago, Illinois, and made hundreds of arcade games and produced thousands of cards. This one obviously is of the scientific variety, but other themes include sports, western, pin-up girls, jokes, tv and movie stars, fortunes, and fighter jets, just to name a few. Names of old arcade games include wonderful ones like:  The Enchantress, Kiss-O-Meter, Braying Jackass, Personality Register, Radio Love Messages, and (my favorite) License To Do Any Old Thing.
