c1867-1880 Willis Playing Cards
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.
