Cerulean And The crowned one
Cerulean, Nice Job! I was too lazy to do that ;-) lol
Dear Crowned one, well actually Cerulean inserted a link that shows one that is very closed to the one I own...mine is more vivid in colors (I have it personally for 35 years and I am amazed that the graphics have remained in mint condition without fading despite the fact they went through 2 world wars and a crossing of the Atlantic!) but the pictures are the same artwork and i do have the same box. The cards are very very thick. So we can say the one I own is close to the same era from that one showed on the link....Of course the French seal is on the two of swords, lame 62, which says "Decret du 12 Avril 1890". All cards are without any scratch, cut or handwritting! The deck is complete with its original two box system. Cards are 65mm large and 118mm tall.

However the back is a bit different it has swirling effect and has nothing to do with the back shown in the picture. I wish I could upload the back for you crowned one so you can see...Because of my family history I always suspected this one was 1900 (or even earlier). I placed it 1910 to the latest as of the above sample. The swirling back is very unusual. Those very rare decks are now considered real sought after antiques that can be sold for hundreds of dollars!!!
