Having addressed a Yale deck yesterday, it is only fair that I give Harvard equal time by providing some additional information about the deck listed in chapter 28 of the Hochman Encyclopedia as CU1a by L.W. Marshall. I am showing a picture of the original telescope case which appears indistinct in the encyclopedia image. We see that this deck was made by NYCC as per the label affixed to the original box but the design of the court cards would have been sufficient to confirm this fact. I am also showing, apparently for the first time, a picture of the joker, together with the back design and the wonderfully detailed Ace of Spades which depicts some of the original buildings on campus at the time this deck was issued. It appears that Holworthy Hall and Memorial Hall are the only two survivors from this deck to this day.
