Here's one I would guess most people haven't seen before - Russell Blue Ribbon Koh-I-Noor back.

Check out the slight differences in the courts. From what I read in Hochmann, I think the whist deck was first in 1912 and then wide decks started around 1916. Maybe that's when they changed the courts.

Here are my only two Pyramid Playing Card Co. (Brooklyn, NY - 1920s) decks - one Home Run and one Peter Pan. The Peter Pan is bridge size and has different courts. Looks like they weren't too concerned about coloring inside the lines. Enjoy.

And one more, a Pyramid Iris deck with better coloring and courts like the Home Run deck.

Here's a cool early Torpedo box (1924-1929 based on tax stamp). Cards are Russell PCC, but I don't know if they are the original cards with the box or not. Anyway, I really love that box. At first I thought it was a seagull on the joker, but I haven't seen many seagulls hunting other birds. Anyone what kind of bird this is? {UPDATE} from Playing Card Forum, this is a HAWK and here is a picture of the Kalamazoo Playing Card Co. Hawk brand with same image. Kalamazoo bought Willis W Russell and formed Russell Playing Card Co around 1912.

Also, here's another Russell PCC deck with the same back but different ace and joker from around the same time or even earlier given the Blue Ribbon whist ad card (see above for a Blue Ribbon whist deck). No box though.

I had to get the Pinochle box, too, with the deck back usually associated with Torpedo brand (though the deck in the box is a mish-mash).

Early on, mines were referred to as torpedoes. Only later did torpedo begin to refer exclusively to powered weapons in the water.

It is getting harder and harder for me to find KEMs to add to my collection, but I recently snagged this set of 1935 KEM Club decks with the original ace and in the original red and blue colors.
1935 KEM Club Red and Blue.jpg
And here is a KEM Plumes deck from 1939 with the really rare Aces of Diamonds and Clubs with KEM Playing Cards and company name printed on them. I've only seen this a few times, and only in decks from around this time frame.

For everybody who has the Mauger Centennial reproductions, here's your great-great-great-great uncle, c1876. Has no indices, a little different Ace of Spades with the angled spade pips. The Ace - 9 of each suit shows a lot more wear than the 2-8. You can see the difference in the card backs. My new favorite deck.

Here is a good looking Congress deck c.1904. This was part of the Congress Club Series, Imperial back, and has a nice gold ink. Nice looking deck. Ad from same time introducing this back and others in the Club Series. Interesting, looks like they recycled this back (and the Majestic back) from The Stage #65 series. Glad they kept the metallic inks.

There is an old thread on PCF (http://www.playingcardforum.com/index.p ... 3#msg35823" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) that mentions that there are Aristocrat back designs other than the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 that everyone know, 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 or let me know. Love to see the mystery deck backs.

And now for a couple more of Kalamazoo decks. The sealed wide Smart Set Old Oaken Bucket deck shows 1909 on the tax stamp. Success deck dates to around 1910. In 1912 Kalamazoo bought up the Willis W. Russell company and formed the Russell Playing Card Co.

It's been a while, so time to add some Andrew Dougherty decks. Below are three Indicator No 50 decks with cool monograms (wish I knew what they stood for - the top left has Union 1E 51, the next looks like TR&C, and the next BC), one Indicator No. 14 deck which I think were the first indicator decks before they labeled them No. 50, and a matched set of the first No. 50 decks with "A. Dougherty, Manufacturer " on the label. Plus an Art Club of Philadelphia deck and an American Whist League deck, both also from Andrew Dougherty. Zoom in and enjoy!

And a National Card Co. Aladdin deck Oriental back with awesome joker c1890. Enjoy! *** updated 7-26-21 to correct name of card back from Feathers to Oriental ***

More cards! Not much of a theme today, just some randos from the collection.

2 Aristocrat "Twin-Dex" packs, most likely from late 20s, early 30s based upon the Auction Bridge scorecard. Contract bridge supplanted auction bridge in the early 30s, so all the bridge scorecards with decks changed to contract bridge. Interesting that they have different aces, but I did note that the second set of decks are not red and blue as stated on the box.

But, this is one I've been wanting for a long time: my first Willis W. Russell deck, and it is a beauty. Great "Saber"back design, excellent condition, gilded, long-distance pips, box and joker. Very nice.

Some more antique decks, starting with a set of Washburn advertising decks from the late 1890s, most likely printed by USPC. Great Ace and slogans on the court cards.

Next, another advertising deck - Heckers' flour from American Playing Card Co, c1910

Then a custom deck for St. Nicholas by Andrew Dougherty with an Indicator joker,
