I found some vintage soft porn playing cards.

edited June 2013 in Chit chat
Now, I'm not one to start lewd threads, and don't go thinking that this thread is going to be full of naughty pictures it aint. However, I do have a question related to the thread title.

What I have found going though things ready for my move are two packs of 'Smiling Brand' pornographic picture playing cards from the 1950's or early 60's. I remember seeing them as a kid and being told that they were my granddad's.

There in very good condition, but I don't know what I should do with them. Keep them for cerement's sake, or sell them on ebay for a pittance. The pictures are surprisingly artful and nowadays might just be acceptable for page 3.

Some of the women have a timeless beauty to them and would pass for a young lady nowadays. However, some of them have both a body and look that say's from the past. Isn't it funny how you can still loosely place a date or decade on a woman even with no clothes on. I wonder if this is maybe down to the hair, the make up, or maybe just down to trends in the choice of model. One thing I do know if that all the women have an ample bosom. I guess back then men had simpler tastes and big knockers were the number one feature.

    Judging by the amount of silicone implants (eurgh) around, I believe things are not that different nowadays.

    suspect men's tastes haven't changed......

    I'd say hang on to em if they're a reminder of your gramps - hell might be worth something to a collecter so perhaps check that

    In 50s they tended to airbrush the pics, creating pretty much the same effect as today. :p

    Good to know that long after he has shuffled off this mortal coil, my Grandpa and I can still see eye-to-eye!

    Are they manufactured by the Mongy Lard Playing Card Co.?

    I know several shops around here that still sell those pens! Living by the sea, you see all kinds of tat in the shops around here :lol:

    On a related topic, my Grandad used to.own many decks of topless women playing cards. He'd always use them when playing patience with me (I could never understand Rummy!) and my Nan would always go nyts at him for using them :lol: I miss my Grandad :-(

    I also had a friend who had loads of Amiga porn! He used to buy them from tjose PD adverts in magazines. I remember one "game" he had called "bedroom olymympiad" or something like that. It was actually hardcore and the faster you wraggled the joystick, the faster they went at it! Great fun when you're 14 years old ;-)

    That pretty much what happens in our house but we don't have an amiga :D

    I remember in the 90's a mate of mine had a tiny plastic camera with a keyring attachment which was almost half the size of a small box of matches. If you looked into the tiny viewfinder you could see a pic of a nude lady and pressing the button rotated to a new pic.

    The weird thing was even though the date stamped on the bottom was 1993 the pictures were at a guess late 60's.

    Whoa....that's so retro that any attempt to explain it would simply cause some sort of retro black-hole to pop into existence that sucks the future into it.

    Scottie - you COULD sell them to Mel...

    But in seriousness, I wish I had something to remind me of my grandfather.. Last I saw him, I was 9.. he died in 2005.

    (I do have my mother's father's medals from WW2 but he died 9 years before I was born so it doesn't really count)

    I had one of those games, called "Party Games" I think. Played like a strange shag Decathlon.

    My guess is poker, he's on WOS, therefore he has internet. That is untless his missus or mum has turned on the content filter.

    This sounds like a great idea for a Speccy remake. I'm sure with a bit of fiddling about I could get a saxophone soundtrack out of Beepola.

    I already have a title - Johnson's Daily Shagathon.

    You could just give this one (NSFW) the old Harry S Price treatment and just slap a different name on it. ;-)

    Having a w**k over them seems the obvious answer...artfully of course.
