A Cellar of Fine Vintages / Pyramid Playing Cards - Homerun Brand
« on: June 14, 2018, 02:30:29 PM »
Came across this great deck a while back with a bulk purchase. I'm still sorting through and finding this to be one of my favorites.  I would like to know more about Pyramid Playing Cards and the Homerun brand if possible.





WoPC has some good basic information, but I was wondering if there was anything to add. Or something that could further date my deck.  I have 52 cards, no jokers or box unfortunately.  Can post more pics if requested.

Obviously I can use help with two things.

A) Taking pictures. I'm oblivious how not to have glare, but still have decent lighting on shiny objects. Sorry about that.

B) Identifying the Cards in these Pictures.

I picked up these singles in part of a huge lot I purchased a while back. They came from a guy closing out a antique shop. He said he was also a collector.

Deck A - I have 26 of these Cards. Rough estimate these are 150+ years old. I'm guessing I got the left overs of a single sale, hence all the face cards are gone.

Deck B - Just this one card. Dirt ugly and really old.

Deck C - Just the one Card, Based on the 30 Star American Flag on the back, This Card should of been printed between 1848 - 1851. The Card is longer than the standard 3.5"

Deck D - Just have these two cards, I'm guessing these aren't too expensive or old, but I really like the back design.

Deck E - Just the one card. Curious About it, I'm guessing its from the 1950s. No clue what De Land is or the emblem. It's possibly older, based on the Copyright.

Deck F - I just have the four cards, the backs are pretty inconsistent, they may not even be from the same deck, but upon close inspection, the pattern is the same, just the coloring is off on the king. I'm guessing these cards are 150+ years old.

Thanks all!
