DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE PLAYING CARDS???
Brown and Bigelow was a company in St. Paul MN that made lots of office products, playing cards, etc.
The cards were most likely given as gifts to people who were traveling on the Northern Pan-American ship line, possibly through Norway. NOPAL is an abbreviation for Northern Pan-American Line.
The cards look to be from the early 1950's and are probably worth a 20 dollar bill.
I gathered all this information in about three minutes using google.
