Chicago World's Fair Postcards (Rigot)
   Max Rigot Selling Co. - 1933

Notes: These "linen" post cards include Colortone photos and artist renditions that are also 
found in the card sets produced by Blatz Gum. Several vendors distributed individual cards 
from this series with their own markings, but the most complete and prevalent was the 
series by Rigot. Backs are true postcards, with the marking: "C. T. Art-Colortone." Another 
sizable postcard series with the Colortone images was marketed by N. Shure Co. (see 
separate checklist).

Some different cards have the same numbers (shown with "*" below), making the complete 
set at least 61 cards. Several of the variations might be different "editions" by the original 
copyright holder. Thanks much to Gerry Klein for updates and correspondence! He points 
out that the variations often have different secondary numbers on the lower right of card 
fronts; those with secondary "1Axxx" numbers are on a smoother card stock while those 
marked "3A-Hxx" are true linen finish.
