I've been told that there are places around Las Vegas where a person with patience, time and a sharp eye can pick up some vintage casino decks - flea markets and the like.

Thanks Don, hope I could find the "Atlantis"  :)

The only one idea cames to me. As this deck is wrapped in individual transparent cello, it might be a part of a 2-decks gift set. Similar sets were in use at that days in Vegas casinos, including Silver Slipper (their set had blue and green cards) and MGM Grand (brown and gold cards). All these cards were individually wrapped in cello and had a common paper box for 2 decks (sample photo attached).

Hey iDoctor, maybe you might want to check on your attached files? It seems to no work for me. Yup I too think that the borderless green GN is from a 2-decks gift set as I have quite a couple of casino gift sets myself. Namely the MGM, Sahara (3rd ed?), Frontiers (4 boxes of One way back, still finding the Two way back design) and Dunes.

I am definitely interested in looking at what's inside the purp Carson City Nugget deck. Please try to re-upload the photos again  ;)

And also its been my pleasure too to know vintage casino cards collectors like you because comparing vintage card collectors and modern cards collectors, vintage collectors are really little.

Cheers,
sliverboi

Hi, Silverboi
It's done (I've reduced photo file sizes), hope everithing is Ok now. I've also sent you photo via mail to be sure.
Yours, iDoctor

P.S. I've found one purple GN sold on eBay in 2012 ($649). Photo attached.

In 2012, is my second year just collect the Vegas Cards.
I saw this purple GN on ebay. However, my friends and some great great collector from Taiwan said that they are sure is there any purple GN in GN series. They said the purple GN may be a blue GN place under sunlight for a long long time.
So I miss that in 2012, I was so depressed until now.
I'm never seen sealed purple GN from 2012, hope I could get one before leave this world. :-[

I don't think there are many vintage Vegas cards collectors .. The story of these cards is not well known and nowadays many people prefer collecting newer cards mostly because it's less expensive and we can buy more and play with them  :)

I have 2nd generation brown and red hotel and casino, what would be interesting is a list of all decks you have with the code of the ace of spades .. to be able to feed the survey i could give you an access ..

Send me a PM and we'll be able to study that ..

About the purple Carson City i have only seen it once but i never really studied these cards.


sorry for bring up this post again, but I can't any updated post to discuss Vegas Casino cards.
I'm a vintage Vegas cards collector from Hong Kong

I really want to say that Carson City Nugget is too less even Green and Brown. 8)

There is an old thread on PCF (http://www.playingcardforum.com/index.php?topic=1959.msg35823#msg35823) that mentions that there are Aristocrat back designs other than the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, but I've never seen one or been able to find any images, until now.  Just picked up an Aristocrat Allover No. 7 deck c.1944 (see pics).  So I guess there are backs No. 4, No. 5 and No.6, maybe more.  Does anyone have any of those decks or info about the Nos. 4+ Aristocrat backs?  If so, please post.  Love to see the mystery deck backs.

I've only got No.1 2 3.
First time that I saw this No.7. I wanna know is there any No.4 5 6 in this world

Those wooden playing card boxes are amazing.
Are they suitable for Bridge size card only?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!  I actually started collecting the boxes before I started collecting Kem cards.  I had originally just intended to have a handful of 100% plastic cards to go with the room and I found the cool boxes.  That blew up to around 50 boxes and led into the Kem collection.

The ones from Poland and Italy are almost always large enough to hold Bridge and Poker sized cards.  There are three main styles.

This is what I call them, so here are the three main style.
1.  Flat Top - these are like a standard set box.  Two decks are cards laying flat side by side.
2.  Top Loader - these are like the old Kem cases.  Two decks on their side.
3.  Double-Decker - think of the Double Decker buses - Two decks laying flat on top of each other.

There are a few more vintage styles.  There are some from Japan that are like the Top Loader and Double-Decker, but they have little drawers with handles you can pull out.  Also a few Top Loaders where the top is more like a sleeve of wood that comes completely on and off.

I'd say about 95% of the ones I have can hold bridge and poker sized cards.  Most of my collection is bridge sized.  After a lot of these pictures were made, I put all the cards in clear plastic bridge-sized 54 card cases and those cases fit in the box, so I know poker sized cards would.

Bonus picture of my lammer box.

They are awesome, and I'll focus on them on ebay soon.

Please also find the below tax stamp bicycle, I found some information about "how to date a deck", the tamp was in use from 1919 to 1924. Am I right?

The stamp itself was in use form 1894 to 1924.  Over the years, it went from being a two-cent stamp to eight cents, through the use of overprinting to indicate the new value.  If you look on your stamp's overprinting and cancellation, you can see in red that it was overprinted "8 Cts." and that it was canceled in black on "4-1-1919," or April 1, 1919 - the last nine in the year is mostly cut off, but enough of it is visible to make it positively identifiable, especially when you combine it with the period in which the card tax was eight cents - only one of the years occurred in the 1910s, the rest being in the 1920s.  After 1924, the tax went to ten cents and a new stamp was finally issued, taking this one out of circulation for good.

Very clear explaination, thank you.
I hope I can find sealed deck older than 1900.

It's look elegant
However, are they really for sale and limited?

love these vintage decks forever

I'm just trying to imagine what cards are in the Torpedo and Mohawk tuck boxes.  As far as I've been told, they were used as "catch-all" discount brands - basically, whatever cards they had lying around they needed to get rid of went into those boxes.  In later years, one usually only found Aviators in them as they were one of the cheapest brands USPC was making.  However, the Mohawks are from between 1940-1962 and the Torpedoes are from between 1962-1965.  The tax stamps are the clue to the age.

New York Consolidated was founded in 1871, bought by USPC in 1894 and run independently by them until 1930, at which point they were merged with A. Dougherty to form Consolidated Dougherty Co. - the Mohawks have a CDC cancellation on the stamp while the box says NY Consolidated.  It was common enough to continue using the old company names after the merger of the two - until the box redesign in 1992, Bee boxes state the NY Consolidated name on the face, while new Tally Ho boxes still state the A. Dougherty name today.  In 1962, USPC decided to disband/absorb CDC into the parent company, taking all their brands and marketing them as USPC brands - the Torpedoes have a USPC cancellation on the stamp.  Though to be honest, I'm not 100% sure if Torpedoes were a CDC brand or if they were USPC all along, in which case one can only say the deck is from sometime between 1940-1965.  "One Pack" tax stamps (both the square and rectangular versions) were created and used from 1940 until the tax was repealed near the end of 1965, to be replaced by the manufacturers' seals we know today.

Thus, both decks are no older than 1940, but the Mohawks are no younger than 1962 while the Torpedoes could be as young as 1965.  If the Torpedoes box has any CDC, NYCC or AD markings on it, then it can't be older than 1962 because of the USPC cancellation.

Thans for your information. That's help me to clavify thd date of decks more clearly.
