Playing Card Plethora / Re: Help identifying playing cards manufacturer - Australian ?
« on: June 21, 2013, 08:07:14 AM »
Thanks for all the replies.

I got in touch with one of the Australian card groups and this is what I got back so far:

"Well, they were printed by Reed Paper Products, which is now Spicers, here in Australia. Best guess on the date is between 1935 and 1940. Our club has dealt with Spicer before. Unfortunately at some point, someone decided there was no need to keep hold of their archives. As a result they have no information on their own productions. This leave them in a unique position that they come to collectors - like us - to get information on their history."

Hi there,

Thanks for getting back to me - please see attached backs and pack pics

Yes Waddingtons are still sold in a lot of shops, and being in Leeds the cards and artwork pop up all over the place

Amateur card collector from the UK. I have been collecting UK playing cards (mostly Waddingtons - as I live in Leeds it seemed sensible) for about 10 years now and love my deco card backs in particular, but also like anything out of the ordinary. Once sold a pack on Ebay by Goodall for $1000 - but most of the packs I have cost less than $10.......

Finally looking to get some knowledge of USA cards circa 1900 - 1940 with a particular leaning towards advertising and casino cards.

Hey there, this is my first post so please forgive me if I have posted to the wrong place. Basically I am a UK collector learning all the time and I have picked up a pack whose ace and joker I do not recognize and cannot track down at any of the usual sites. I have attached the ace and joker and wonder if anyone had any ideas who the manufacturer is ? Thanks for any and all of your time, and its good to find a new home.....
