Very scarce authentic vintage gambling catalog from the infamous K. C. Card Company. This is not a reprint, but an actual copy from the the 1940's or 1950's. No date is printed in the catalog, but the company moved to the Chicago location in 1940 and was raided by the FBI in 1961. This falls somewhere between those years.
The K. C. Card Co. was a supplier of gambling merchandise to casinos and gambling operations. They supplied both legitimate and not so legitimate materials. You could order loaded dice in many, many varieties, marked cards, mechanisms to hide cards, and so much more. Some of the items were useful for magicians, but mainly the catalog was aimed at helping gambling establishments to beat the odds and cheat the customers.
This copy was used, has an owner name on inside front cover. Overall, it is in very good vintage condition. The text is clean, bright, and unmarked. There is no age toning, no stains or soil on text, no missing or torn pages. The lower right corner of the front cover is bent and worn. There is a small soiled area on the side closed page edges. The book measures 5.5 inches wide by 8 inches high. 68 pages.
These catalogs are quite hard to find, some are in museum collections.
