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.
