Normally I would have passed on these playing cards. I looked at the finer print and discovered they were the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. Cool find for .99 cents.

Good Thing you checked the fine print
OH YES that's CHESSIE, and 'her old man Peake'. I recognized her immediately!!
Chessie was the original ad campaign hit for the C&O railroad passenger service (sleep like a kitten on our trains, essentially) and soon became not only the 'trademark' of the line herself (until its official end) but accumulating her own family during subsequent years/decades after she was introduced.
