Opal-Glo Card, circa 1964.

 

Playing card: London Stores Ltd.

I love the graphics of the heritage Melbourne buildings. I also think its great that the store had such prestige that a gentleman would consider buying a pack of their cards. Below is part of an advertisement from 1916 and 1934 mentioning the cards.

1916.

1934.
