Buy yours: http://www.homerungames.com/ 1876 Centennial Exposition Deck Restoration, The Deck Commemorated the world's fair in Philadelphia & the declaration of Independence. Created by Michael Scott The original cards had several unique details that set them apart from other american decks of the day. They were slightly larger measuring 90mm x 62mm as opposed to the standard poker size. Indices were just beginning to be used. Andrew Dougherty had a patent in 1876 for his Triplicates and The New York Consolidated company had a patent the same year for their Squeezers. Mauger wanted to use Indices on his cards so he opted to put them in all 4 corners making them Quadruplicates. He went a step further and like many popular European decks made the pips 4 colors with Black Spades, Red Hearts, Yellow Diamonds, and Blue Clubs. Almost sounds like a lucky charms commercial. There were 5 versions of this replica project: USPCC Standard (Blue Back) USPCC Limited (1,000) (Blue Back) Mauger Replica (Red Back) Mauger Limited (1,000) (Red Back) Mauger Original Release Limited (500) (Red Back) Original kickstarter project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/150......cription |
