Lump of Sugar

Lump of Sugar

Old arcade card from about 1922, produced by the Exhibit Supply Company. ESCO was based out of Chicago, Illinois, and made hundreds of arcade games and produced thousands of cards. This one obviously is of the scientific variety, but other themes include sports, western, pin-up girls, jokes, tv and movie stars, fortunes, and fighter jets, just to name a few. Names of old arcade games include wonderful ones like:  The Enchantress, Kiss-O-Meter, Braying Jackass, Personality Register, Radio Love Messages, and (my favorite) License To Do Any Old Thing.
