Vintage 40's Art-Deco Nude Pinup Girlie Playing Cards

Deck of vintage collector's cards, "Fifty-Two Art Studies," from the Novelties Mfg. & Sales Corp., St. Louis, MO. Graet Christmas gift for the serious collector!

Depicting nudes in various poses, these look to be late 40s (or no later than early 50s), judging the by hair and shoe styles. These are originals, NOT reproductions! Plastic-coated cards are in excellent to near-mint condition--no creasing, rips, tears, scuffs, etc. (minute scratches on a few visible if you look very, very closely). Looks like they were never used in a card game; likely only taken out, carefully, to be looked at. All 52 cards are there, but no jokers. Box is only fair, and has been taped on one side. However, there doesn't look to be any major damage under the tape--a split seam maybe, and the owner overdid the tape! Tax stamp is still on box, fully intact except where it had to be split to open the box.

This particular style may be rare; the back design, with two stylized camera lenses, is very art-deco, not the usual "Wolfie" you see on these; I've seen only one other deck like this amongst the dozens of vintage erotic playing cards I've seen here on Ruby Land and on other sites.
