Description

Samuel Hart & Co. was a Philadelphia playing card manufacturer active from the 1840s through the 1870s. The firm was one of the earliest American playing card makers, producing cards that competed with imported European decks. Hart's copper token (Miller Pa-197A) advertised his card-making business, which later merged with the New York Consolidated Card Company, a predecessor of the United States Playing Card Company. Cataloged as Miller Pa-197A in the standard reference for American merchant tokens.
