I have to dig a bit, but I might be able to accommodate you.  I don't have anything in stellar condition, but I do have some older decks I might be willing to part with from the era you're talking about.  I might want to trade for Sherlock Holmes goodies, though, once they're made - I'd send you what I have first, no problem, you send your stuff when it's ready.  I'll be in touch in email.

Sounds good, I'm good for what ever you think is fair.

Jackson, are you interested in pinochle decks ?

[JacksonRobinson]

Aristocrat Pinochle decks...  Now that's something you don't see often.  I don't think they used the Banknote Back on any other brand.  BTW: there's more than one Banknote Back - did you have a specific one in mind?  Last time I looked, I think there was four of them, and I think the recent Aristo reprint was #2.  Jmrock would know this stuff better than I would; you should hit him up.

Ah - I think those may actually predate USPC's ownership of the company!  Awesome finds.

Guys this is what i have, got this from a fellow collector a little while back. Im not quite sure whats the history etc, about the deck. But one thing im curious is that how come the backs dont match the box. Is that supposed to be right, or did something go wrong somewhere is the past 100 years. Was told this deck dates back to 1902. Let me know what you think and what its worth =)

I hate to break it to you, but that's not likely a deck from 1902.  Indices were a LOT smaller back then.  I could tell you more if I could see the faces of some other cards, but that couldn't be older than the 1920s, and even that's pushing it.

Don is right those aren't as old as you think. However they are right up my ally an I im still interested in them.

In terms of your question about the box not matching the faces. Sorry its just because the cards are in the wrong box.

Jackson, there was a good article on USPC standard faces in "Clear the Decks" earlier this year - you'd be able to date this deck with a reasonable degree of accuracy using it.  If I had to guess, I'd call it as being between 1930-1960, but probably closer to the older end of that range.

Hey Jackson, no hurry but are you still interested in the deck ?
