Found these today at an estate sale, not bad for $5! I’m always on the lookout for cards and chips. They also had a little baggy of old red bake lite poker chips with the Harrahs logo, might go back for them tomorrow.

The 1935 is the copyright, not the manufacture date. Here’s an ace from a setup from June, 1961, as noted on the 3 digits to the left of the logo:

Since yours don’t have a manufacture date, I have no idea. Maybe someone with more info about KEMs will chime in.
Either way, it’s still a score!

Wait…. You left chips on the table?!?!? :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

EDIT: I just read, that KEMs with NO date code are from 1935-1937, so these are indeed one the earliest KEM decks!
