Get Out of Jail Free- Chance in Monopoly

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Is it possible that the character on 1936 Chance Card in Monopoly is based on Charles Yerkes, the primary character in the Book trilogy by Charles Dreiser? This may be supported by an Illustrated Newpaper article showing Yerkes getting out of prison after striking a deal with PA Gubernatorial Candidate Hartrantf for his release. The Illustrated Newspaper drawing and the Chance card both show a prisoner in stripes getting out of jail. The number of stripes on the prison uniforms match in both drawings. Of further support is the characteristic handlebar mustache on both the character on the card and every photo of Yerkes. 184.96.151.216 (talk) 02:17, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

While this might be a valid observation, we cannot include it in the article without reliable sourcing (to avoid original research). — HTGS (talk) 04:09, 19 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
