This is a vintage Congress 606 double deck produced by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC) out of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Congress line originally debuted way back in 1881 as Russell & Morgan's top-tier luxury brand, and the "606" line specifically denoted their premium decks with gilt (gold) edges. Double deck sets like this were extremely popular throughout the mid-20th century, particularly for bridge players.
Production Date: 1956
Monticello: Thomas Jefferson's historic plantation home near Charlottesville, Virginia, complete with its iconic dome and brick facade framed by autumn trees.
Mount Vernon: George Washington's estate on the banks of the Potomac River in Fairfax County, Virginia, showing the grand front lawn and distinctive cupola.
Both decks carry metallic borders around the images and gold-gilded edges along the sides of the cards.
