- Vintage Playing Cards, Oldsmobile Rocket Vanguard Double Deck, Gold & Silver with Original Black Velvet Case, Mid Century, Car Dealer Memorabilia, Brown & Bigelow, Redislip Cards, Vintage Collectibles, Father's Day, (Discontinued)
- Made in St Paul, MN, USA
- Vintage: 1950's - 1960's
- Details: This playing deck was a promotional award given by Oldsmobile to their star salesmen. It was part of their Oldsmobile Rocket Vanguard Program in the 1950's and 60's, using the Oldsmobile Rocket logo as a mark of sales achievement. Made by Brown & Bigelow (1896 - 2001), using their Redislip special coating that keeps cards feeling smooth and slippery even after being handled, plus it extended the life of the cards, they claimed "...up to 50 times longer than paper. Both decks are complete with 52 cards each and the Redislip jokers, (apologies for the glare on the joker card picture). These are marked "Brown & Bigelow, St Paul, Minn. U.S.A." The set comes in the original cardboard case, covered in black velvet and gold foil. Perfect for any playing card collector, for an ex-Oldsmobile dealer or old car fan, and because they're so durable, they're perfect for a family game.
