Ebay find. 5$. Not bad for stuff from the past.

Availability: ♥ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
As such. They’re only good for collecting purposes.

Life/Finish: ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
I like the ad card that comes with it. “how long should a pack of cards last?” Haha. But. Standards were different back then. How long ago? I… don’t know. Long enough to have tax stamps on it. And a statue of liberty thing for a joker. Neat. Unfortunately, its lacking a useable finish to this day. Oh well. Not a usable deck.

Oh dear. No faro for you here. Unless you like faro-ing clumps. And possibly splitting cards.

Back Design: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
Kinda. Un. Interesting. It seems to be the Aviator brands ancestor of sorts. Quite. Now we know where Aviator gets it shoddy quality from. The past.

No way you’re using these for any sleights. Please don’t. But these do age well. They even have that yellowing stain. And water-like marks. Unfortunately, this specific deck I have some scratches and paper tears. But that’s fine.

-Broadway playing cards. They look like Aviators if you didn’t know any better. Not to be confused with say….Broadway seconds. Created apparently by the Russell Playing Card company, the one with that neat Ace of Spades with the R in the middle. It also was made in New York , says the Ace of Spades. Uhm. No good for XCM, magic, and the like. No good at all. I just like…random ‘treasure hunting’… haha…hunting. that’s what it is.
