Extremely Unique & Rare Vintage Aviator Playing Cards

[jmrock]

I recently acquired these Rare Vintage Aviator Playing Cards as a set... They are Stamp Sealed, but with an extremely rare U.S. Playing Card Co. Stamp... It was explained to me (whether true or not, I have yet to verify) that following the taxation on playing cards, and before switching to a sticker style seal, these stamps were used to seal decks... I have never come across this style stamp before and I am offering these for sale or trade in the shop, but still thought that some of you may like to see some pics of these rare and unique decks... Enjoy...

Those look awesome, bro.  Air cushion, and with the old prop-plane logo!  I wish they'd stayed with that motif - the deck was a commemorative of sorts, meant to honor Lindbergh's Trans-Atlantic flight (and take advantage of the public's fascination with all man-made things that fly).  The jet motif is really boring and doesn't retain any of the original meaning.
