How are you?

my name is Touya Yabuhashi, a Playing Cards researcher living in Japan.


In the USPCC CODE, I found the code of "A" which corresponds to 1898, which has been considered to be nonexistent for a long time, so I contacted you.

 "GAME OF ARTISTS Playing Cards"(1897~1900)
The code for this PlayingCards is "A".
This brand was produced for only a few years. The image deck is therefore considered to be a proof produced in 1898.

Could you check this, please?

Fireside Game Company (fl. 1895 -1900) of Cincinnati, Ohio was active from 1895 to 1900. During this period it issued 31 different card games, each numerically identified starting with, Strange People, game number 1100. With regard to our cartographic interests only game no. 1110, Population features maps. The organization appears to have been a subsidiary of the United States Playing Card Company intended to promote 'Educational Games.' After 1900 or so the company was renamed The Cincinnati Game Company.
