This was actually a Kem Card Sales Corp deck, and not Kem Playing Cards. Here are the red and green decks in color, along with the special case for the 1939 New York World's Fair. Deck backs show the Trylon and Perisphere.
It's a sharp-looking pair. It's a shame that Kem doesn't make boxes like those anymore - they're pretty sweet. They don't even use plastic now - it's just a plain cardboard box with a lid, sitting in a slipcover. The slipcover helps keep the lid from falling off in transport. Nothing at all like those elegant cases.
