Can anyone recognize this deck

It's not a tarot deck, it's some kind of fortune telling deck, possibly like a lenormand, or the gypsy witch cards.
Don't know what it's called though.

By the spelling of "favorable", it should be American. (Oh yes - and there is Miss Florida !!!!)
42 cards. Like Lillie says - fortune telling rather than tarot.
Looks sort of 20s ish....

It has "Gypsy" in the name, something like Gypsy Queen or Gypsy Dream. I've seen it many times over the last several years, and I don't think it usually goes for this much ($46 USD right now). It looks like a really neat deck. If you set up a favorite search for "telling cards", you'll most likely find it in the near future in much better condition at half the price (maybe... the market for used fortune telling and/or tarot cards is rather volatileAdjustment said:

Wow....that is a neat deck! What a treasure! I would love someone to put that out, again, with an aged look. Wouldn't it go nicely with the Housewives Tarot? I can just see it being sold at Ike's store, on Walton's Mountain, along with a piece of bubble gum....And Grandma yelling at Ben for buying it with his spare money, calling him a heathen....

Hmmm... well, I'm at work, but I'll see what I can come up with...
I know I've seen it many times... it has to be gypsy something or other!

I have this deck!
Well, I have MOST of this deck!!
I bought it on ebay a few years ago...the box is a little tattered, 2 of the cards are missing, and it didn't include instructions...but I love it dearly!!
The 20's illustrations are great and I love the cover of the box! (speaking of which, the cards are all illustrated in shades of red and green...only the box is illustrated in a full range of color....but the simplicity of it only makes this deck even more charming!)
If you like it, I highly recommend it...but you might want to hold out for a better price...
