Description
Original box and game cards for "The Comical Game of Who?" by Parker Brothers, Salem, Mass.  1910.  Originally with 60 cards, three are missing (#7, #15 and #40.)  Colorful box graphics.  The game was played by dealing out a shuffled deck among the players.  The person with card #1 starts by reading the question  on their card. (Who is the prettiest girl in the party?)  The person with the next card in sequence would answer "I am!".  Then they would read question #2, to which the person with card #3 would answer "I am or I do."  The questions get progressively more comical as the game goes on. Considered a parlor game for adults at that time.
