“Great Games in York” – circa 1910

I believe that this is a comic card, picturing a card shark luring pedestrians to a rigged game.

The scene would not be representative of a particular place; a printer would add the names of local towns.

Nevertheless, I will share the postcard to The Retro York group; someone may remember if games of chance were ever offered on city sidewalks.

This postcard was mailed from Lancaster, PA on October 9 of 1908 or 1913.

The postmark is indistinct, so I have labeled it “circa 1910”.

Addressed to John Martin of Marticville, the postcard lacks identification of the sender.

A cryptic message, “Clubs are Trump”, is the only inscription in the “Correspondence” section of the divided back.
