Perfect for Cocktails after A Night at the Opera

I’m not a Marx Bros. fanatic, but I flipped when I found these vintage 1954 Groucho cocktail napkins.

All 36 were in the original box and they’re in really good condition.  And just like the box says, each one is different.

They seem to nicely capture the slightly naughty humor of Groucho.

    Fantastic! I have Jackie Gleason napkins from this same series. i wonder what other stars had their own napkins?

    I have a pair of original Groucho glasses with plastic nose and cigar that has the exact same graphic as the box.

    I would have done cartwheels if I found these myself.

    Fantastic find.

    Oh man, I saw these in an antique shop once years ago, and I wanted them sooo badly! They were really expensive back then, though, and I didn’t purchase them. (If I recall they were priced at over $50) I’m really glad to see them again.

    Insanely jealous over this one! I love Groucho. Finding those at anything close to a reasonable price…. awesome!
