c1870/80 Bancks and Brothers
small format playing cards (HB6) with unusual coloring of turquoise / yellow / red turned double ended courts with plain slightly glossy backs – Cards are complete 52/52 and measure 54 cms by 83 cms (frame of courts measures 49 cms by 76 cms). – The Ace of Spades is cut very close to the lettering at the base - Interestingly the double ends are not mirror images of each other having small difference to features – ie size of noses and mouths – The suggestion is that these cards were used for Piquet but we are not sure why that would be and feel a form of Patience is more likely at this time – Condition is very good light use – no damage but slightly grubby on the glossy backs.

WILLIS PLAYING CARDS MINIATURE INDEX PIPS
This piquet deck of playing cards (32/22)
have interesting indices - they are mini pictures of cards in each
corner - Interestingly the mini court indices are full length courts
but Willis appeared never to manufacture full length court cards -
They produced these miniature indices on two different sets of cards
- once with normal turned courts over the pip and this deck - which
seemed to be produced a year later where the indices are turned and
the pips placed in the other corner.- The backs are decorative with
three smaller pictures almost like a postcards sent from a holiday –in
pinks on blue – Complete 32/32 – Condition excellent/near
mint
