A Cellar of Fine Vintages / POTTER & POTTER AUCTION JUNE 27th & 28th, 2015
« on: April 20, 2015, 07:06:15 PM »
I have been negligent! I promised to post some photos of playing cards coming up in our June auction and I have not done ANY. I know you all have been waiting with bated breath, so here is the first one. It is a Nathaniel Ford deck ca.1840. U1 in Hochman. I am not even going to mention how rare it is. Oh by the way, the auction is the last weekend in June in Chicago with a nice get together planned for Friday night. Would really like to see some of you.

This is a pure guess. It seems to me that the more colors the greater the expense so I'm thinking $$$$.

A very rare Huestis & Levy (1855) deck just sold on Ebay for $2020. Early American standard decks are still high priority to collectors.

A very rare pack from the Holland:
Nullenstien, Lautje van Schotten “Pasquins Windkaart”, Holland, ca. 1720. 51/52 + 2 EC ( lacks 10d), Exc. Engraved and hand colored. This was not the makers name but a mockery and the shop where it was sold was called the “money seeking cock”. The pack is a satire against the system of John Law, inventor of the banknote, who inspired expeditions to Mississippi and the South Seas that ended in economic failure in 1720. The suckers who bought into this scheme just bought “wind”. This pack contains fifty-one cards and two extras; one represents a rooster with the blazon of John Law of Lawrifton and another inscription: "April Kaart of van Momus Naer of Niewofte Mode". All letters are engraved in black, with essence of the characters in these expeditions. Museo de Naipes Fournier pg. 127, #10.

I will be posting a photo every week or so. Stay tuned!
This is a beautiful wrapper of Claude Burdel (1727-1799). He came from Lyon to Fribourg, to become the founding father of three generations of Burdel-cardmakers in Fribourg, active in town between 1750 and 1799, working at the address "place du grand St. Jean" since 1766.

« on: December 28, 2014, 09:09:34 AM »
Yes, yes I know it is 6 months away but believe me it will be here in the blink of an eye. I have already begun the cataloging process and we have some phenomenal items in both the playing card & gambling category. Just to get your juices flowing, we have a "Bad Joker" deck and a Hodges Geographical in the playing card category and a set of ivories, a gaffed dealing box and a most unusual card trimmer in the gambling category. The auction will be a two day affair on either the weekend of June 20th or June 27th. We are not currently looking for any more consignments for this auction but if you have a truly fantastic item we may be able to squeeze it in. There will be a party the Friday before the auction begins so I suggest that you begin making plans to be here. Have a VERY HEALTHY, HAPPY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR everyone and I look forward to seeing many of you in 2015.

The article states that only 5 sets of silver playing cards are known. One of the sets was on view at the Jewish Museum in Amsterdam. Perhaps they are still on display.

Aces and Eights - the Vintage/Antique STISO Board / For Sale
« on: December 03, 2014, 02:49:46 PM »
Offering these two Little Duke decks in original tin box befroe I put them on Ebay. Will leave them here for 1 week or until sold.
Two decks are complete and in excellent condition. One dates from the 40's and the other dates from around 1900 as does the tin box. These tin boxes are very difficult to find in decent condition as the lithography is very thin and easily damaged. The price is $55 shipping included.

Not much of a story really. I bought a small group of cards from an old time collector and this was in that group. Sorry, I can't make it more glamorous. I would love to find the joker!! Maybe Tom Dawson has some ideas! Tom?

I need help in determining what joker goes with this Steamboat deck. I thought I looked carefully in Hochman but could not find this Ace. I do have the original box that "STEAMBOATS", "Double Indexed", "No.1", "ROUND CORNERS". Anyone have a clue?
