De La Rue Pocket patience playing cards (19th century)
It's possibly the rarest set of playing cards I've ever come across.
This model of De la rue's playing cards almost never come up for sale.
An extremely rare example of De La rue's Pocket patience playing cards. It is estimated that this set dates from 1890s-1920s.
This listing previously had different dates. However, a much better card expert had thoroughly reviewed the cards, and this is now the verdict for this pack, there is also possibility these cards are a tester pack due to the lack of design on the back.
The box has had some repair work & celotape repair to 1 side, unfortunately. For the age, the box is still in excellent condition
The cards themselves are all excellent condition, blank yellow reverse.
Believed to of been owned by 1 family before I came across the deck. However, little is known about past ownership
