Owl No. 0.0. Playing Cards. Indianapolis & New York: The National Card Co., ca. 1885. 52 + J + OB (lacking top flap). All cards very lightly browned. Partial two-cent blue tax stamp has a ?U? and partial ?S.? Hoch.NU4 /NU4a. The joker bears the name of the National Card Co. but the box has information about early U.S.P.C. decks such as Tiger, Arrow and Bicycle. U.S.P.C. must have issued the deck using up the old National Joker stock after it merged with National.
