Illustrated cigarette cards from the 1920s and 30s with the theme of "do you know?" Though
the set these belong to is the most visually interesting, this theme ran for
hundreds of cards. The best part of them is just how random the trivia is, jumping from "Why do we clink glasses?" to "Why do we call them 'pistols'?" to "What is smoke?", all in this one set of 30.

My version of this question would be: "What
are running corks?"

Very interesting.
Very interesting indeed!
As a seamstress, I have often discussed the "right-over-left for women and left-over-right for men" buttoning issue. But I've never heard the explanation given here.
And so many of the other ones are really interesting as well...
