Title: La Paloma card back from KEM Playing Card Co.
Post by: Chuqii on November 30, 2020, 04:32:26 PM

Took a number of years, I was finally able to find one of the most elusive KEM decks - La Paloma. According to the September 13, 1937 ad in the Buffalo Courier Express, this deck was designed for and exclusive to the Flint & Kent upscale department store in Buffalo (I think this is also the source of the popular Kent back design). Came in red and blue, and I already had the Neillite box for this deck. Enjoy.

Very nice Clay!  Love that box too with the special button - those are incredible.
