PIN-UP'S & EROTICA

-65-

This deck was printed in the US (probably by Brown & Bigelow) and published there by the Marine Art Publishing Company from Santa Monica as the "Hollywood Pack" with 52 "art studies" in the 1950's. The deck has one interesting feature that we haven't seen before in other (contemporary) pin-up decks: a few cards show multiple models in one photo.

Our deck consists of 52 cards and a joker.

Although our box lacks one side completely, the text on the rest of the box revealed two things for us. First, that our deck is incomplete, as it only has one joker.  Secondly, that the trade mark claim is exactly the same as we've seen on other vintage pin-up decks by Brown & Bigelow, so it's most likely that they were the printer of this deck too. See our article in the "Variations" xpo to compare.
