One of the appealing aspects of collecting antique playing cards is often one of the most overlooked and that is original box designs. Most of the focus of playing card design pertains to the Ace of Spades, the joker and the backs from the deck itself but several of the earlier tuck boxes can be just as attractive, if not more so. To this end, I have selected the fronts and backs of four original tuck boxes from the following National Card Company brands to share with this audience. Their wonderful designs also serve to make them quite suitable for display purposes.

Arrows # 11
Ramblers # 22
Apollo # 33
Crescent # 44
