'Signed' Conver deck on eBay

The 78th Fool


...I already have the Convos, though - perhaps a genuine non-Conver 18th century Marseille-style deck? :):):) [/B]

Pictures of the pack

Now I've put the pictures of trump cards on
"Yahoo! Briefcase" so that anyone can see them.

I think this pack can be dated to circa 1850s.
(Mr Depaulis says his opinion is the same as mine)
At least it should be older than the original of
Lo Scarabeo edition, for the left eye of "LE PENDU"
and the mouth of "TEMPERANCE" are not missing.

The back design is, according to Mr Depaulis,
one which French cardmakers used to call "dos caillou".
("dos" = "back", and "caillou" = "pebble")


As to the Minor cards, please wait...

Indeed many thanks, Kenji...

This Kenji-Conver makes a welcome addition for further study :)

Good job, kenji!

Now you can go deep into the mountain, deep into the cave and caressing your Conver all days and nights, murmuring "...my precious..." (hee hee!)
