Bicycle playing cards question

[kirk thomas]

I found this Joker in a book. It is in mint condition, I was wondering how to find out the year. Is there a thread or I'm sure you guys know.

Pre zip code..pre 1960.
Could be 1940's..

I can't post the link from this computer but go to bicyclecards.org and look at tab US8E. Looks to be ca. 1930. V/r Shawn

Yours does not have a zip code either. Zip codes were invented in the 50s but not used in the U.S. until 1963. V/r Shawn

I somehow missed that. Based on what I'm reading I would think the card dates from the 1940s-50s. V/r Shawn

Probably left handed because someone in the advertising company didn't know anything about bikes and reversed the negative used for it. I have seen the a few times in bicycle ads even from well known companies. Roger
