American Colortype Co often used the mark AC Co. They were founded in 1904 and active into the 1950s. Among their offerings were stereoview cards, postcards, greeting cards, chromolithographic prints, paper dolls, advertising and more. The company was large and at one point owned the Sam Gabriel Co. Some of their more sought after items were those created for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair.
