U19 - Victor E. Mauger - This Ace is interesting in that it has both Goodall and Mauger names on it.

U19d, SX1 c1876 - Almost the same Ace of Spades of the 1876 Centennial deck, but has four Spade pips as the corner indices and Ace of Spades is only card with corner pips

One could almost call them ornamental details rather than indices.  But they are still pips, either way!  :))

Working on a more in depth history of Mauger now. He actually had 6 decks for the fair. During the fair he announced he was breaking with Goodall. The day after the fair ended he was done with Goodall. In August the next year he started his American Playing Card line.
WORLD'S FAIR DECKS
U19   Four- color Quadruplicate pack      AoS has Goodall   NO REVOKE DECK
SX1   Four-color Quadruplicate pack           George Fox joker   NO REVOKE DECK

U19b   No Goodall name      Two indices      AoS has World's Fair dates
SX1a   Two way Courts   Traditional Suits           AoS has World's Fair date & Motto
U19d   AoS is Goodall for World's Fair like U19

Found an ad for Mauger's Pointers in my November 14, 1878 issue of The American Stationer along with a price list showing the Mauger brands at the time.
