1926 One Hundred Year Commemorative Art Nouveau Gold and Red Double Deck Playing Cards In 2 Red Boxes$45.00
These 100 year commemorative cards were from the Beals McCarthy Rogers steel company, who had a plant in Buffalo, NY.
Bethlahem Steel ended up being the primary steel company there. Now, no steel production exists in Buffalo, now part of what was the "rust belt"....cities whose large steel production plants closed in the 60's and 70's.
One deck was used, by appearances, and the other is in mint condition. There are only 2 jokers, but each deck is complete, and there is a double-sided card that has instructions and manufacturer's statement. Made in Cincinnati, USA, revised in 1926, but copyrighted in 1906. Cards measure. 3.5 inches x 2. 25 inches. Red boxes have no identification, and are a bit worn, except for some penned marks. Priced according to what I have seen on web sites for playing cards.
