The Reynolds Card Mfg Co. “Rough Back” Playing Cards. New York, ca. 1888. 52 + J + partial box. Excellent. Box bears a patent date of 1888. Hoch. L37. The pack is so similar to decks produced by Caterson & Brotz that it is probably safe to assume it was manufactured by them. The back of the box states: “These cards are roughened on the backs to cause an air space as well as to make resistance for the thumb in dealing, and thereby to prevent misdeals; and highly finished on the face to avoid too much resistance. They slide off one by one and do not become sticky in any weather and improve by use.”
