Just bought a double deck of Arrow Playing Cards. This ace lists 734-754 Mather St as their address, and the ace in Hochman has an address of 800 So. Sibley. Anyone know which address was first and if there were any other addresses? Any other tips as to dating these decks other than address?
Hello Chuqii,
The Arrow Playing Card Company, manufacturer of card and board stocks, was incorporated in 1927 at 800 Sibley Street with the Capital Stock of $30,000. The incorporators were: L. Grollman, C. Harris and A. A. Schlesinger. In 1930, the company has arranged for an increase in capital from $60,000 to $120,000, for general expansion at 734-754 Mather Street, before it becomes the Arrco Playing Card Company in 1935.
