1955 Aircraft Exhibit Cards

Two Different Sets of 64

Referred to as "Exhibits" because they were issued by the Exhibit Supply Company of Chicago, Ill. The black and white cards, which measure 3-3/8" by 5-3/8", are blank-backed. They have been designated as W452 in Jefferson Burdick's American Card Catalog.  Most exhibits were sold through arcade vending machines for a penny.  There are two sets of numbered aircraft-related cards of 64 subjects each.  One has the imprint "Printed In USA", the other, "Made In USA".  I have seen examples of the "Made In U.S.A." set, on much thinner stock, with post card backs.  Other exhibit cards featured baseball players, football players, boxers, cowboys, and movie stars.

  • For a look at both sets: all 128 of these cards, please visit the Skytamer Web site.

  • I have all of the "Printed In U.S.A." cards and am working on upgrading the "Made In U.S.A." set.
