Mauger Replica Playing Cards 90 x 62 mm Size Deck

Fans of historical decks - myself included - will love this. The Mauger Centennial deck was created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and was also made to mark the World's Fair held in Philadelphia that year. The Centennial Exposition Deck is another classic deck from the era of the late 1800s, and has several unique and interesting features. Created at a time where indices were just beginning to be used, Mauger decided to include them in all four corners of the cards. All four suits are also in different colours (black and red for Spades and Hearts, blue and yellow for Clubs and Diamonds). The Joker pictures a popular actor and dancer from the time, George L. Fox, who was famous for his pantomime clown act in the play Humpty Dumpty. The original Mauger deck had unusual sized cardsmeasuring 90mm x 62mm, which is slightly larger in size than normal, and this "Original Release" edition features cards with this larger-than-normal size, and comes with a special box.

Reading the backstory again about these reminds me of why I bought them. Always nice to have some fun history with your cards. The box is cool, something unusual. These are fine cards, well-done. I had a tuck seal/tax stamp style seal on the outer box and another on the inner box, which seemed extra nifty. The gilding is nice, not clumpy. Reproductions of old decks are a favorite of mine, so I absolutely love these.
