Made in 1927, in 4 colour lithography. Versions of 33,
53+joker exist. Cards measure 56 x 88 mm. Published by SN and several
firms (for advertising). Production was stopped ca 1935. After 1936
this deck was not listed in the pattern books of SN anymore. The last
stock was sold to the Saks company in 1942. The price had gone down
to ca $ 0.03 per deck.
The court cards are inspired by the French and Belgian-Genoese pattern. Yet there are enough differences to not refer to this deck as a standard pattern.
