One deck leads to another. Putting back the Rummy Nr 210 deck I came across a deck that we both have always liked very much. It's been in our collection since 1997. So another Piatnik deck in the lockdown series and today it's the Cashmere deck. Printed in 1950 and published as an advertising deck by Bernard Altmann, who had several shops in the US and Europe with textiles from different parts of the Far East, including Cashmere. Hearts - India, Clubs - China, Diamonds - Mongolia and Spades - Persia. Each of the pip cards has a different illustration too. The deck was designed by Hans Lang.
