Here are some old playing cards I found while cleaning my grandfather's attic, these date back from 1934 and are in almost perfect condition, the big pack cotains 3 of the smaller packs, and the smaller packs contain 6 of the smallest ones. My question is: how much are they worth? I've searched a lot and didn't find any info on the price of these, only the history, so I thought I'd try my luck on here to see if anyone knows.

It's a little tougher to tell.  Most of the deck references I've seen talk about US-made decks - yours are from Belgium.  If I'm not mistaken, the company that made this deck is probably one of the companies that combined to form the modern-day company Cartamundi, which is also headquartered in Turnhout, Belgium and has two locations in the US as well as many others world-wide.
