Complete Deck #2 of Antique French Gatteaux Playing Cards, 1890 pompoms The texts on the backThis is the second of two decks of lovely antique French Gatteaux playing cards I recently purchased from a seller in France, stamped 1890. Stenciled coloration, no indices, and barely rounded corners, with the Jack of Clubs featuring the Gatteaux mark on shield, the Ace of Clubs featuring a 1890 tax stamp, and pips showing pretty paper watermarks. This deck has plain backs of a pretty cornflower blue, and show a little bit of curling so I'm pricing
