These 19th Century Pickup Line Calling Cards Are Fantastic

Back in the 1870s and 1880s, young men would keep a few of these cards in their back pocket and hand to women they found attractive.

Alan Mays has an amazing private collection of these and we just had to share a few of the best ones. Hat tip to Dangerous Minds for the find.
