An image of the joker turned
up a few days ago while discussing the post of a deck by an unknown Belgian
maker in this group and I thought it would be nice to show the complete deck
here now too.
Special advertising courts, based on their Anglo-American pattern, special
aces and a special joker in today's lockdown deck....... the Miss Blanche deck
by the Speelkaartenfabriek Nederland from Amsterdam, printed in offset and first
published here by the British American Tobacco Company in 1939. The deck is well
documented: 20.664 decks were delivered from the end of 1939 to the beginning of
1940 and 27.180 decks from the end of 1940 to the beginning of 1941.
