Fun Facts: The set was produced in 1991, as indicated by the copyright marking on the cards ("©1991 MCNY"). It was licensed courtesy of the Museum of the City of New York (MCNY), drawing from their Platte Collection of Currier & Ives prints. Manufactured by Lichin Sino Corporation in Hong Kong, this was part of a series of merchandise reproducing the firm's iconic artwork for modern collectibles. Currier & Ives operated from 1835 to 1907, producing over 7,500 lithographs that became popular affordable art for the masses, often romanticizing American life. This particular set is designed for poker or other card games, blending nostalgia with functionality— the cards are plastic-coated for durability, and the chips are basic clay-composite style. It's not a high-end antique but a fun, thematic reproduction aimed at collectors or casual gamers interested in historical art.
