Burton Frasher took some marvelous pictures of Nevada (and other places ), that were published as real photo postcards. The Pomona Public Library has a lot of them on line, and they have the dates the photos were taken. Link below to the introductory page...do a search for Las Vegas, or Nevada, or whatever. Very Cool photos!
This rppc, from our collection, is on the site. It was taken in 1944.
The cool thing about the real photo postcards is that you can make out a lot of detail with a jewelers loupe, because the cards aren't made of of the tiny dots, like the linen cards are.
This roulette card, from the Apache Casino, isn't a Frasher, but it's one of my favorites. With a loupe you can make out the design on the roulette chips, which appears to be generic.
