Ragtime millionaire . Awesome. I've got to get a couple hundred of these.

Actually, it's not a business card. It's a "get acquainted" card, used by lonely Victorian Era men hoping for a good time, or at least somebody to walk home with. There are a bunch more examples at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

My dream wealth exceeds this gentleman's, and by no small amount.

You must be adjusting for inflation. I would imagine that $60m back in 1890 was some serious coin.

About $1.5 billion, actually.

Mine would say

"Looking at your chest.

I have money but can't spend any of it.

Married."

The trick is looking while not looking like you're looking.

I have a feeling if some people started using these today, they'd start off with "my lady" and mention "fedora" somewhere on the card.

I give kind regards to knockers too. I need a card to stick in deep cleavage.

Come and examine my "stock" before dealing elsewhere. Well played, Victorian era man, well played.
