Jaz. H. Ford “Lafayette” Playing Cards. Milton: Jazaniah Ford, ca. 1824. 52/52. Very good. The deck is soiled with torn corners on some and pips rubbed on others. Deck was issued to honor the return to the United States of the Marquis de Lafayette, whose hand-colored portrait is on the ace of spades. The courts are the same as the Decatur pack (Hoch. W1) but with very minor variations in the courts indicating new plates were struck. Rare in any condition. Hoch. W3.
