Marked Deck ?Excelsior? Playing Cards. 52 with Instruction Card. Unmarked but almost definitely A. Dougherty, ca. 1864. Early marked decks are extremely rare. There is no manufacturer?s name because a playing card maker would not want their name to be associated with anything crooked. Light browning around edges otherwise very good. See Hochman AD4.
