Found on the internet........
From the
Potter & Potter auction, where it was passed at an estimated $ 3000 - 5000.
Note that August Petrtyl is mentioned as publisher. Can't make out the copyright
date, could be 1922.
What immediately catches the eye is the different back design, but still with
the copyright in name of August Petrtyl.
Steve Bacon offers this deck
at $ 2000, published by Publicity Art Studios and copyrighted 1934 "by
August Petryl".
But it still has what I consider the original back design. Old stock, bought by
the Publicity Art Sudios?

A NOTE..... |
It's a confusing description. I don't
know which deck was used to make this description, but there is no such
thing as a "74 cards Tarot deck". All Tarot decks consist of
78 cards. The knights (or "chevaliers" in French) are called mounted Frontiersmen here. However, they are part of each suit in any regular Tarot deck. So they were not added to the mysterious 74 cards version.
