1864 Saladee's Replica Playing Cards Standard Deck

For over 500 years people used playing cards without indices in the corners. Then on February 9, 1864 Cyrus W. Saladee was issued a United States Patent, No. 41,587 to print numbers, suit symbols, letters, and miniature playing cards in the corner of a playing card. The patent was purchased by Samuel Hart and he put Saladee's name on the deck and Ace of Spades.  

The rare piece of history is known as the Saladee's Patent Deck. Others eventually started to print indices, as we see in the Squeezers and Triplicates which began production 12 years later in 1876.

Mini Indices, One-Way Courts, Bazique, Bower, and Blank

This is the Standard replica of the Saladee's Patent - Samuel Hart 1864 deck (as opposed to Original Release or the Limited). While Home Run Games/Michael Scott did this restoration, I chose to order several of these from PlayingCardDecks.

I wanted a deck with 1) rounded corners, 2) one-way courts, 3) corner indices, 4) non-transformation, and 5) symmetrical backs. The Quadruplicates in the Mauger replicas come close but have two-way courts. *NOTE: the corner indices are smaller than you find on today's standard decks. So if you have trouble seeing these "squeezers," you might need a different deck.

You get a second Ace-of-Spades that has the reproduction info, a Bower card, a blank, and a Bazique (minus the original spinners - dots mark where the spinners would have been). *NOTE: the Bazique has a different color scheme (red-white-blue) than the rest of the cards.

Packed with care, they arrived in top condition along with other decks in the order. If you have requirements similar to those mentioned above, these decks should provide much enjoyment and be welcome in your collection.
