The "S" code indicates that the deck is dated for 1913, 1933, 1953, 1973 or 1993. I'm guessing 1953 or 1973, and between the two, I'd go with 1973. Does anyone have any familiarity with when the Fremont was spreading Pan?
This back design is not recorded in the Steffner/O'neal "Nevada Casino Playing Card Guide". (Jim/Sandi, please feel free to use this scan.)
This is a scan of the side panel of the box.
For those not familiar with these decks, they are comprised of 8 regular decks without the 8's, 9's and 10's.

Thanks for Looking!
