This Jack of Clubs pin-up playing card was manufactured in the 1950s by Játékkártyagyár és Nyomda (the National Playing Card Factory and Printing Company) of Budapest in Hungary. It shows a bathing beauty / pin-up from the pack known as Romikartya 4, which features 1950s pin-up girls, bathing beauties with seaside backgrounds. This model is dressed in a red-striped one-piece bathing costume, splashing through waves. The company traded from 1950-1974. Following the Second World War, from 1946-1949, the Austrian-owned company Piatnik continued to operate the factory under licence. In 1950 it became the National Playing Card Factory and Printing Company, incorporating several firms such as the factory in Rottenbiller street; Albert Bakács & Son Printing House, and Emil Seidner posters and label printing press.
