Game of Get Busy, Causing roars of laughter. (#4042)


Springfield, MA: Milton Bradley Co., 1906.

Paper lined box, 5.75 x 7.5 inches. Some darkening to the lid and light scuffing at corners; cards with mild toning and occasional smudges, overall VG+. Old auction stickers and a few markings on the bottom of the box. Part of Bradley’s “25-cent” series, the box is oversized but contains the complete set of 48 cards with instructions printed under the lid. The cards contain 16 different prompts for acting out: Grunt like a Pig, Cry like a Baby, Sing a Song, Bray like a Donkey, Make a Face, Clap Hands, Laugh out Loud… The caricature graphics nicely encapsulate the period—from the yawping singer to the Gibson-girl style clapper. The shock of hair and fluffy sideburns on the bespectacled man making a face is a standout, too.
