Found this going through some drawers at my mothers house. Anyone know the year? Box looks like they were purchased last week. Cards are still sealed in cellophane they came in. There are 2 decks of Pinochle cards in a plastic case

No later than 1965 when playing card stamps were no longer required.

May 1965 is the latest canx date I think that is known (from memory).

The Kem brand still exists producing playing cards. Perhaps they could give you a date when these were sold based upon design and packaging.

Also don't see a zip code in the address, which is another aid in helping narrow down dates.

The design is early 60's style. Popular game when I was a boy, I used to play it back then.
