This deck is complete 52/52 - courts
are printed in blue and stencilled - card is very cheap type
and does not take the stencilling well - 5 cards are not perfect,
it seems that at the time of manufacturing on three cards the
picture part was not being stuck onto the card properly as they
were badly cut and did not covering the backing card. Two face
cards seems to have been rubbed too hard so pieces either peeled
off or left a glue stain - otherwise deck is mint and not used. |

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
