- Miss Fatima, the Famous Bare Dancer" [Trick, Finger-Snapper, Mechanical Card]

Germany: Muco, 1900. Softcover. First edition; 8 x 2 1/4 extended; thick, beige, card-stock case, illustrated in back and green; chromolitographed card tucked in; metal clasp attached to card verso; light age-toning to card stock; clasp a bit rusted and not very tight; very good or better condition. A risque novelty item, it proudly proclaimed: "To be kept secret! For gentlemen only." As the card was initially pulled down, Miss Fatima's bare legs were slowly revealed and by the time it was fully extended, a silly, clown-face underwear showed and your fingers got snapped by the clasp. Although the clasp has lost its "snap," the card has remained an interesting and unusual artifact of early-20th-century male entertainment. Ill.: 0. 2.
