A Cellar of Fine Vintages / Re: Came Across Some Vintage Mint Condition Cards

Wow, thank you very much for all the info!

I looked through all the decks for the ace of spades and found the dates. The Kem cards are all from 67/68, they are still quite old as far as I am concerned! None of the others have any print date on the card which is unfortunate but for now I will just assume the whole collection is of the same age within a couple years. The one that does get me is the pegasus ones. They say "Ace Playing Cards" along the bottom, is this the manufacturer? I can't turn up any information on them because of their unfortunate name (it's hard to turn of any info on a search engine). If you had a little bit of info on them than it would be great as well! (picture below)



To sum it up, it seems like I've got:

2x2 + 1 decks of Kem cards from 67/68
     - Some people still like them
     - Probably the best quality that I have

2x2 decks of Northbrook cards from ~70
     - Out of business
     - Were not very popular

2x1 decks of Arrco cards from ~70
     - Paper
     - Still wrapped but only in cellophane wrapper instead of "upgraded" case

2x1 decks of Ace cards from ~70
     - They don't have the bumpy texture that the Kem ones do, maybe means they are paper?
     - Are still pretty cool

I posted these on Reddit yesterday and I was told that you guys here might be able to shed some light on these cards. I don't really know a whole lot about playing cards but I was hoping that you guys could tell me a little bit about them and their value. I could only find a tiny bit of information on the KEM ones through a ebay auction, they say they are from 1947.

The birds and city scenes seem are from Northbrook while the leaves and flowers are from KEM, the other two pairs I'm not really to sure about but I can assume that the pair with stars inside circles are KEM make as well. I know that printing techniques have changed over time which leads me to believe that the cards with the white borders are older than the ones without borders but I could be wrong. They're all in mint condition except for the blue/orange pastel-esque city scenes which have seen some play and are fraying at the edges.

Thanks for your help!

Edit: I added a couple decks that are still in there wrapper to the end of the album, they're from the same source which is the only reason I would think anything of them to be honest.
