Vintage Mexican Finds: "Novedades Montecarlo" Loteria Set

There are 35+ versions of Loteria game sets, and Elexia found one of the most unique Loteria sets of the bunch!

Forget about "La Sirena" and "El Diablito"–This particular vintage Loteria set (by Mexican company Novedades Montecarlo) features images that are quite different from your average Loteria:

If I had to put a date on this Loteria set, I'd say sometime around the 19760's or 70's. I just love how unique and colorful these images are from typical Loteria cards!

Count Your Blessings
