Iron Horse Baldwin Locomotive Railroad Playing Cards. New York: NYCC, ca. 1920-1930. 52/52 + OB + NYCC stamp. Very good. Court cards bear line drawings of M.W. Baldwin & Co. locomotives. This deck has puzzled collectors for decades. Printed by New York Consolidated Card Co. on very cheap stock, it was most likely a promotional giveaway at a railroad show or a fair promoting Baldwin’s engines. This is the only pack found with an NYCC stamp putting it in the 1920/1930 range, and may have been produced for the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair.
