Hi ALL!
I got these cards a long time ago in a box of stuff !
I know there IS a real name for them !??
If you put them together in the correct order and flip through them it because a moving cartoon !
What are they really called ?
Who made them ?
How old are they ?
Are they worth anything ?
MANY thanks, Ted

Asian motif note cards What are dimensions of them. Post cards size or smaller? The artistry on them leads me to believe 1960's Vietnam War era when service personnel were in and out of Japan and picking up memento's such as cool Seiko watches, and Siam Silver as they traveled about.

These are called "Flip Cards" and have been a form of fun for a long time - Sports figures and "Girly" themes are the most desired by collectors.

Google "Vintage flip car/books" for examples and pricing

Enjoy -

Tamrock, that was my first thought also, until the flip animation was mentioned - Dad had a 10 stack that showed a golf swing - 50's era.
