Description

68x THE NILE FORTUNE CARDS
GOLD EDGES
Copyright 1897-1904, by
U.S. PLAYING CARD CO.
CINNCINNATI, U.S.A.
The deck is complete with the 52 suit cards and 1 life card.  There are two additional cards that appear to be advertising in nature.
The outside box is orange and well worn with frayed bottom edges and two half cards on the back side of the box.
The interior box that holds the cards is in good shape and the cards themselves are in great shape for their age. While they are
slightly yellowed with age, they have no tears, creases or markings.
The instructions are in the deck and are in one piece although they are very ragged. There is a second fold-out that is split in two
titled "The Fortune Teller" and appears to be an advertising piece for a Milton Bradley parlour game that was made in the early
1900's. (1905 according to the interesting information on Wikipedia)
Considering that this deck may be more than 100 year old, it is in remarkably good shape. Please see all the photos to visually
assess the condition of all of the elements described and included with this deck.
Please contact me with any questions, for further information or additional photos.
I ship via USPS Priority Mail, for my protection and yours.  Will send out the cards when I get notification from eBay that
payment has been received.
