vintage playing card deck featuring the "Tourist Empire of the Inland Seas" design, promoting tourism in Michigan and Canada. This particular deck was likely a souvenir or promotional item distributed by the East Michigan Tourist Association in Bay City, Michigan, as indicated by the text on the box. These types of vintage playing card decks are popular collectibles, offering a unique glimpse into historical tourism advertising and regional pride. The blue stamp features the text "PLAYING CARDS", "1 PACK", and likely "U.S.I.R." or "U.S. INT. REV." (United States Internal Revenue). The "1 PACK" designation, used from 1940 to 1965, indicated that the tax was paid per pack, allowing for easier adjustments to the tax rate without reprinting specific denominations.
