Stainless steel "business card" with two shotwelds given as souvenirs by the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Company featuring the Burlington Pioneer Zephyr. The company invented the shotweld process and used it first to construct the Pioneer Zephyr for Burlington. Later trains were also made from the same stainless steel as the card.

No dating on card shown. The train premiered in 1934, toured the US and went on display at Chicago's Century of Progress World's Fair in 1934. These souvenirs were likely distributed by the company during this time.

Before uploading this, I talked with user Quadell at en.Wikipedia. His opinion is that the card is in the public domain and that PD-pre 1978 licensing applies.
