Lovely Antique French Gatteaux Playing Cards, Complete Deck, 1890 Stamp painted wood puppets which would be good hungAnother beautiful deck of antique playing cards with stenciled coloration, no indices, and barely rounded corners. These are French (and came straight from a seller in France) 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. Really lovely, and in great shape, with a blue and white tight honeycomb pattern on the backs. Cards measure 3 5 16" x 2 1 8". 52
