I'd love a set of each.

Is my brain shot ?
I remember a pub pool room that had pictures around it with different types of drunks. I only remember the gin drinking women one.
Are you sure it wasn't a mirror?

Looks like the original artist did several card games but only did one of pool players (Kelly Pool) https://www.google.com/search?q=kelly+p ... oeiuUItTKM

That spawned lots of imitations so there's umpteen available rather than just 6.

PS If you find an original in a charity shop, you're minted. :lol:

One of my enduro pals just surprised me with this.
I was gonna call it the Yorickshire Arms until my other pal made me the Chispas sign.
Gonna have to use both names now :obscene-birdiedoublered:
