The following photos pertain to Hochman O3, Aluminum Playing Cards by Charles L. King, New York, circa the 1920's.
I am showing the 4 back designs for this issue that I am aware of, however, I would like to know if any other collector can advise if there are others. I particularly like the 3 that show a woman of that era engaged in a popular sport, such as Golf, Tennis and Polo. I do not know the title of the back design showing the sailboat but it may be something like Yachting. I had to photograph the aluminum card case for each deck because the actual back design on the cards themselves is printed in pale pink or green and is so light that it did not produce a clear image. The fifth photo shows the Ace of Spades and Joker for this issue plus the score card that would also have been included in the original package.

I love these cards Toby.  No help here - have not seen any designs other than the ones shown.
