Vintage 1940s "Drink-Up" Novelty Playing Cards - Yellowstone Distillery Promotional Deck
A rare find for collectors of vintage Americana, barware, and playing cards! This complete deck features charming illustrated drinking humor on each card with witty sayings and cocktail culture scenes—because apparently, the 1940s believed every poker game needed a drinking suggestion. Spoiler alert: they weren't wrong. 🍸
Brand/Maker:
"Drink-Up" Plastic Coated Playing Cards
Promotional item from Yellowstone Distillery (Division of Glenmore Distilleries Company)
Made in Louisville, Owensboro, Kentucky (where they clearly knew how to have a good time)
Details:
Poker Size: Standard 52-card deck (complete—yes, all the cards survived the party!)
Style: Novelty/humor cards with vintage illustrations featuring tipsy advice like "CHASER—have you been drinking?" and "Are you coming along peacefully, officer—without you?"
Era: 1940s-1950s (wartime/post-war era aesthetic—when optimism and bourbon flowed freely)
Box: Original purple and cream cardboard box (worn but intact, like your Uncle Jerry after Thanksgiving dinner)
Condition: Vintage/used - cards show age (yellowing, edge wear, some staining—probably from actual cocktails). Box has creasing, discoloration, and wear consistent with 80 years of shenanigans. Deck is complete and usable for display or play.
Perfect For:
🍸 Vintage bar decor (these cards have seen things)
🎴 Playing card collectors (who appreciate a good pun)
🥃 Whiskey/bou
