Vintage Minnesota Playing Cards 2 Deck Set Great Kenneth M. Wright Photos This is a great vintage 2 deck card set featuring Minnesota landmarks and history. Each card has a different black and white photograph and caption detailing it on it. Both decks have the same 52 photographs on the number side. The jokers have the state of Minnesota on it with the state seal. Around it are the names of the neighboring states and they also read "Majority of Photographs by Kenneth M. Wright Studios" and "Made by Brown & Bigelow St. Paul, Minn., U.S.A.". The first deck's back is a color photo taken at the Headwaters of the Mississippi River in Itasca State Park. The other deck has a waterfall that looks to be from the North Shore of Lake Superior, possibly Gooseberry Falls? These are older photos and show a lot of great history. Two corners of the tray are torn and some of the cards have marks on them. All in all, for their age, these are in wonderful condition! There are 54 cards in each deck including the jokers.
