Three decks of scarce and beautiful 50\'s-60\'s era playing cards advertising Cleveland industrial companies.
There\'s a two deck set from the American Tank & Fabricating Co., Cleveland 11 (so, before zipcodes). One deck is gold with a red illustration, the other is silver with a blue illustration. The plastic box has a worn but legible embossing of the company name. The company still exists today as AT&F!
The other deck is from Impression Tool and Mold Co., founded in 1945. The zipcode 44109 puts this deck no earlier than 1963. My amateur detective skills have revealed that the company is still there! Though the address has been renumbered -- rather than 1080, it\'s now 1050 Brookpark Road. I\'m clearly making excellent use of my limited time on earth.Both American Tank & Fabricating Co. decks are like new, crisp, with all 52 cards plus two Jokers each. The Impression Tool and Mold deck is also like new, complete plus two jokers, in a generic replacement clear plastic box.Terrific weird mid-century collectibles evoking the glory days of Cleveland\'s industrial past -- and present!Check out my other sales for more rare promotional playing cards as well as other intriguing oddities!
