This is a lot of four decks of playing cards. These were sold as souvenirs at the 1893 in Chicago. Three open pack decks were issued by Columbian Souvenir Playing Card Co., copyright by G.W. Clark, 1893. Common back shows landing of Columbus, fronts depict State Exhibit Buildings. Packaging is in bad shape, all seals broken and cards have some foxing. One deck was manufactured by The Winters Art Litho Company of Chicago. These would make a nice addition to any World`s Fair collection. HKA#62561
