Binchwatching
a Netflix series takes up much time, but every once in a while I indulge myself.
So a bit later than usual…. a quick and easy one for me today.
It’s French and most likely from the first quarter of the 20th
century. Oh, and it’s a fortune telling deck of 32 cards, that can be used on
both sides. With blank backs.
Although
I have a few, we’ve never collected Tarot decks. But there are some fortune
telling decks in the collection. As long as they have the regular suit symbols
and order, so mostly Lenormand decks and this type of decks.
Now, for identifying this deck I hope to get some help from the French
collectors in this group and if you’re not French, but have some info,
you’re welcome too.
