Help me Date These Playing Cards?
« on: February 04, 2012, 03:52:23 pm »
Picked up this deck of cards today from a little antique store because they're just the kind of antique I love  ;)

After some quick research it looks like they were a promotional deck for JOB Cigarette Papers based in France.  The people at the store couldn't tell me much except that they came from a 90 year old woman.  They look fairly old but so far I haven't found another deck of these online so I don't know how old.  Any experts around?  Thanks.

Here's a playing card site that dates them to about 1930.
