Classic....

Not just a court jester, but a great discovery made by me. I found this stack of playing cards in my grandfather's drawer which instantly caught my attention. Ill tell you why...

We'll start with the Aces...First, take note that this stack of cards is easily 50 + years old and it hasnt been unwrapped. However, i had the courtesy of tearing the plastic wrapper apart and explored each card.


Here, take a look at the sides of the cards. Yes, it is in a reflective tone of metallic gold.
On the back-side of the cards, even the little tulip flowers are metallic gold in colour. Heavy-thick and very decent cards... The "jacks" in its classic design.... The "queens"...The "kings"....
Heres the conclusion : This picture says it all....Hallmark !! A 50+ year old hallmark playing cards, still something pretty fascinating. Thats all for today...
