MAPLE LEAF GUM PLAYING CARDS - EMILE KETS & JEF EYGEL (BELGIUM)
I'm unable to find examples with the exact same back as these playing cards but Emile Kets & Jef Eygel competed in the 1948 and 1952 Olympic games. I assume these playing cards were produced shortly thereafter. Similar Maple Leaf cards featuring athletes from the 1950s can be found but these are the only basketball examples I've seen.
Measurements: 2.25" x 3.5"
1952-1953
