The Nose Game - Commercial Nose E8: A 1920s Card Game Denoting Shrewdness and Cunning This intriguing photograph captures a moment from an early 20th century card game, specifically "The Nose Game" or "The Nose" as it was commonly known. The image, titled "Commercial Nose E8," dates back to 1927 and features a group of men intently focused on their cards. The men, all dressed in suits and looking sharp, are balding or bald, with serious expressions on their faces. The name "Commercial Nose E8" suggests that this particular version of the game may have been used for business or professional purposes. The number "E8" could refer to a specific set of rules or variations in the game. The game itself is not explicitly shown in the photograph, but the title and the men's intense concentration suggest that they are engaged in a round of "The Nose." In this game, players bet on which card they believe will be turned over next, based on the nose of the card previously revealed. The name "The Nose" comes from the fact that each card in the deck has a unique nose drawn on it, which players use as a clue to predict the next card. The game of "The Nose" was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in Europe and the United States. It was often played in social settings, but it could also be used as a business tool for assessing risk and making strategic decisions. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing a group of men engaged in a game that required both shrewdness and cunning. The serious expressions on their faces and the concentration in their eyes suggest that the stakes were high, and the outcome of the game could have significant consequences. Overall, this image offers a unique window into the culture and pastimes of the 1920s.
