White Pass & Yukon Route

[doublet2a]

This is a complete set of playing cards
with 1 Joker and 4 other cards
Can't seem to find out any info on these
They are gold edged
and housed in a nice slide box
Each card has a different pic of Alaska
and the route taken
Buy boat and train
I know someone would like these????????????
Thanks for any help
