  Neat little unopened deck.  Measures 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" . There were 3 other opened decks that measure the same and one looks to match the pattern and colour of the unopened one. Of the other 3 decks one was blue and the other 2 were red. One of the red was incomplete. I assume the stamp would be the retailers mark. Is there any way to tell the age from the ace in one of the opened decks if they are in fact the same kind? Thanks for any help.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

I'm far from an expert, but that's a COOL deck.  Goodall was a British card printer and these look like they're in mighty good shape.  These were often called "patience decks" because the size made them ideal for playing solitaire in a small area.
