Continental Playing Card Co. “Funny Spot.” New York, ca. 1905. 52 + J + EC. Very good. Some cards creased and many with scrapes, the 2H being the most damaged. The pips have humorous faces and there is a humorous saying or motto on every card. The extra card has a blue back while the other 53 cards have a red back. Rare. Hoch. T13. The designer of this pack was perhaps inspired by an early English deck designed by Alfred Crowquill and published by Reynolds & Sons in 1850. See Lot 197.
