One of the most popular Pin-up decks ever produced. It features Gil Elvgren paintings commissioned for Brown & Bigelow, Inc., from 1951 to 1962. The same 54 cards were issued as 52 American Beauties, Top Hat Playing Cards and “52 Gorgeous Girls. The deck was produced by Brown & Bigelow, Inc., and Stancraft Products. These paintings were used many times in different advertising media such as calendars, blotters, matchbook covers, Mutoscope cards, and finally in trading card format in 1993, 1994, and 1995. This is a 54 card deck with the Elvgren Jester and the bio card so the deck actually contains 53 American Beauties. This deck was produced with either Teal or Red card backs.
