The Nose Game
1927
Published by Carreras Cigarette Cards
A game you had to collect, the cards being in with your packets of cigarettes. It is a set collecting game but with the novel feature that you are collecting noses. The amusing cards feature five kinds of nose - Artistic, Impulsive, Enquiring, Aggressive and Commercial. There are 10 examples of each type of nose and you presumably had to collect as many types of the same nose as you could. As often happens with cigarette card games, the cards remain within the family but the rules (which you wrote off for, all those years ago) are lost. The advertising leaflet proclaimed "Laugh while you play - learn character-reading at the same time".
