I have been diving deeper into prewar menkos, in particular ones from the silent film era. Most depict films or stars from that time, but this one is different. Fantastic and creepy. Circa 1922 #cardsky #prewar #cinema

Early 1940s Japanese menko card of Abraham Lincoln produced by the Nagoya Gangu company. Striking image, gorgeous color. Very indicative of this era or of Japanese printing. #cardsky

We all thought Sharknado was an original idea. This 1950s Japanese menko card would like a word 🤣 #CardSky #MenkoSky #ThunderLevin

Rawhide was Clint Eastwood's big early break in the late 50s and early 60s. Rowdy Yates spring boarded into the Man With No Name. This menko is circa 1960, and also promotes an air pistol. Love the back too. #CardSky #MenkoSky

Merry Christmas! #CardSky #MenkoSky

Here's a trio of vintage menkos of HOFer Fumio Fujimura, who played 22 seasons for the Osaka Tigers. He began as a stellar pitcher before becoming a HOF hitter. Held the single-season hits record (191) for 44 years until Ichiro broke it. Menko backs are just as cool as the fronts. #CardSky

Movie & TV monsters are a common subject depicted on vintage Japanese menkos. One of my favorites is King Kong, shown here on a variety of cards. Top two are prewar die-cuts from the 1930s. Bottom two are postwar, late 40s/early 50s. #CardSky #nonsports #menkos

Baseball & Sumo dominate the vintage Japanese menko sports subjects, but others are represented, including boxing. Here are some examples from the late 40s/early 50s. #CardSky
