Nu-Vue playing cards for TWA

‘Nu-Vue’ playing cards by Brown & Bigelow have novel court card designs and are described on the box as “the modern eye-saving concept in playing cards”. The design was patented in July 1964. This particular deck is a two-joker deck produced with ‘Redi-Slip’® finish and treated with Corobex anti-bacterial compound as a souvenir for TWA (Trans World Airlines, the former American airline company).
