Vintage Whitman 40 Card Bingo Set. Missing 2 call numbers {G47 and B2} Some of the cards have yellowing. The worst is pictured. Good condition.
This vintage Bingo set by Whitman is a substantial collection of mid-century social ephemera, featuring a full tally of 40 player cards. Whitman, a titan of 20th-century family entertainment, was known for producing sturdy, accessible games that became staples of community halls and living rooms alike. The typography and layout of these cards offer a nostalgic look at mid-century graphic design, characterized by clean lines and high-contrast numbering that remains perfectly legible decades later.
While the set shows signs of its long history—including noticeable yellowing on several cards—the patina actually enhances its appeal for a Dark Academia or "Found Object" aesthetic. These cards are excellent for use as unique ephemera in scrapbooking, altered art, or even framed as a gallery wall of vintage typography. Please note that the set is missing two calling numbers (G47 and B2); however, with 40 cards included, it remains a fantastic resource for large groups or decorative projects. The cards are in good, sturdy condition, and the "worst" examples of age-toning have been pictured to show the authentic character of this 20th-century parlor classic.
This item is vintage, approximately 55 years old.
