Publisher: Brown & Bigalow/Made in U.S.A.
This deck of redislip playing cards advertising Texaco was made in the U.S.A. by Brown & Bigelow.
Texaco (The Texas Company) is the name of an American oil retail brand. Its flagship product is its fuel, Texaco with Techron. It also owns the Havoline motor oil brand.
It began as the Texas Fuel Company, founded in 1901 in Beaumont, Texas, by Joseph S. Cullinan, Thomas J. Donoghue, Walter Benona Sharp, and Arnold Schlaet upon discovery of oil at Spindletop. For many years, Texaco was the only company selling gasoline under the same brand name in all 50 states as well as Canada, making it the most truly national brand among its competitors.
Texaco was an independent company until it merged into Chevron Corporation in 2001.
Brown & Bigelow is a publishing company based in Saint Paul, Minnesota that produces advertising specialties, or promotional products, such as clocks, pens, cocktail spoons with corkscrew and cap-lifter, and advertising calendars. The company was founded in 1896 by Herbert Huse Bigelow and Hirm Brown.
The firm is known for having commissioned works by renowned artists such as Norman Rockwell and Cassius Coolidge (who created the paintings of those poker-playing, cigar-smoking dogs). It sold its Hoyle playing card division to U.S. Playing Card in 2001.
On a white background with green and gold striped edges, the picture side of the card has the ship's wheel logo with the words TEXACO in the center with a star underneath.
With 52 cards and two redislip jokers, they are in very good + condition with one of the jokers having a smudge mark which I have shown in my pictures and they measure 2 1/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches.
An addition to any Texaco Advertising or Brown & Bigelow Card Collection.
