Description :

Used to be that playing cards entailed one hand holding the cards while the other held the cigarette (or in some cases, the cocktail). The two went together like peanut butter & jelly. Not today, but we are letting these old friends hang out again.

This lot includes a Kool Cigarettes display in tin with a great penguin mascot. The size works well for storing items (like cards instead of cigarettes). Great advertising piece from the 1950s/1960s. Measures 8" H x &" W x 4" D.

Several decks of cards included - Aviator poker cards, mini-Hoyle's, & Swedish Damm Krone decks have been used, "W" hotels deck is still sealed around the cards, while one of the decks of the Royalty Card Game (late 1950s) is still in its wrapper. Note that the case with the instructions has a broken band - still keeps the cards inside, but loose. Final deck of cards is educational - you can learn "blue" words in European languages as you play (Please note - many of the terms are not used in nice company - we've shown a few of the less offending ones).
