Product Description

For history lovers, poker buffs and those who just love antiques, this replica card deck takes your game to the days of the Civil War. It's a faithful reproduction of the deck released by the L.I. Cohen Company of New York in the days of Lincoln, so there are no numbers and the royal cards look a bit different. A complete history of early American playing cards and the company that released this deck are included. It's an essential deck for those who appreciate olde tyme charm.

These playing cards are the perfect deck, for any re-creator. Plus they are good for kids learning to count. They are coated so they don't stick.

I purchased 2 decks of the Highlander Cards for my Faro Bank, once I recieved them I found them to be very slippery, other than that they are great! Aside from the coating they are very historically accurate.

Wow, they really used to play without the numbers/letters written on the cards - it takes some gettin' used to. It's a neat deck of cards though and an enjoyable experience. This was a birthday gift for a 13 year old and he loved it!
