Hello Discourse Forum:
I need to be cautious about information, which will become apparent. My father was given a deck of cards by his father who received them as a gift (he says) from a famous gunfighter. They were part of a 2-deck gambler’s set in a wooden box. The gunfighter kept the box and one deck. What is well-known is that my grandfather and this gunfighter were friends, lived in the same town and their children were friends. I sent a photo to the U.S. Playing Card Co. with specific information and they said they no longer had a curator employed with them, though the design was very interesting. I can’t tell you much more because my identity would immediately become apparent. I’m attaching a photo of the Ace of Spades and the back illustration. Any information would be appreciated, especially the date of manufacture.
Thanks, Frammis
