I am looking for if possible a deck of cards that would look like they are from the 1800's. Any help would be appreciated. If possible where I could have them made? Thanks.

Ooh, I never saw the Highlanders before. Going to have to get a couple of those. They look great! I have the 1800 Bikes. I like them, I do a routine where I take them out and intro them as having belonged to my grandfather.

Btw...off topic:
I have two, three different decks of old cards cooked in black tea, the cards torn and taped, signed and...whatever you want! It looks really dirty!;-)
Put about 40 cards in a new case and...done!
It works fantastic, especially at magic conventions, for "finger-breaking card artists"...

I use the Bicycle 1800 Vintage and I´m more than happy. Unfortunately there are no DB, DF etc.

I have both the highlanders as well as the bicycle 1800's. The highlanders have no indices and are not corner rounded. The card stock isn't the greatest either.
The Ellusionist 1800 bikes look like 808 bikes that have just been weathered. Both may work for what you need depending on the situation.

I took a picture showing the them spread side by side. I know this is a bit of an older post but hopefully it helps
