Pattern: "Celebrate a Proud Land Born 200 Years Ago" - RED
Made in Cincinnati, OH
Vintage: 1976
Details: Remember the days when airlines gave out playing cards to keep you entertained? Well in 1978 airlines were deregulated and competition increased, as well as costs, so eventually they stopped giving out playing decks. This deck is from United Airlines, it was issued to commemorate our country's 200th birthday, the Bicentennial in 1976. The cover reads: "United Airlines Celebrate a Proud Land Born 200 Years Ago". These cards were made by the United States Playing Card Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. They were issued in red and blue, we have the red. This is a complete set, 52 cards and two jokers, plus an information card. The jokers have great vintage graphics! There is some wear, please see "Condition" below. Perfect for any advertising or playing card collector, a retired airline employee, an American history collector, or simply for the pleasure of playing with vintage cards.
