Humor Dep't.

Do we have to type "N-Wordhead Ranch?" Rumproast's new, improved & nicer version

inspired a search for the following images:

We've an idea that we once knew this was what R. Crumb's satire, lampoon or whatever you call it was mocking, but maybe not. (There are unknowns, some of them known unknowns, some of them unknown unknowns, & there's the stuff you've forgotten.)

Still available, matchbox style, per the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia:

One Texas dealer takes old anti-Black trade cards, postcards, magazine advertisements, and food can labels and reproduces the images on the covers of wall clocks, watches, and keychains. This dealer also sells matchboxes in sets of three. On the cover of one set are old Cream of Wheat magazine advertisements, obviously, greatly reduced in size. Another set includes three matchboxes with Nigger Head Shrimp, Nigger Head Oysters, and Negro Head Oysters, respectively. These images were originally on food can labels. The dealer reproduced the images, reduced them, then put the images on matchboxes. This same dealer* sells matchboxes with Mammy Brand Oranges on the cover.15

ADDED LATER: OFC!

*Probably not the same merchant, but where the non-working Jim Crow footnote/link leads, & amusingly horrifying in its own way.
