Produced by Brown & Bigelow's Stancraft division under the Stardust Nu-Vue name — cards marketed at the time for a specially tinted coating said to reduce eye fatigue — this deck features England-themed imagery across its still partially-wrapped box.
A nice pick for the Pan Am collector, the destination-card completist, or anyone charmed by mid-century travel ephemera.
This deck was part of Pan Am's destination-themed series introduced in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The window for dating these is narrow, falling between Brown & Bigelow's acquisition by Standard Packaging in the 1960s and its later sale to Saxon Industries in 1970. This deck came from a collector's estate, complete with both jokers.
