<p>[QUOTE="Jared92, post: 3794726, member: 8881"]Hi everyone! Just thought I’d share my newest obsession, something I recently discovered by chance at an antique store, and then proceeded to start my collection instantly! Curious to know if anyone else has some more info about these guys. From what I can gather, they were originally produced in the early 1900s, and then reproduced in the 40s (blue mark for the earlier pieces, green mark for the later). And they are just absolutely WILD. I was completely shocked when learning how old these pieces are, because to me it’s hard to believe they predate the 1960s with such an insane design. The best I can gather is that it’s a moral statement on gambling? Not sure exactly what else the connection between playing cards and the devil could be. There’s all kinds of pieces online, and they seem to have a cult following, pun intended, with some insane prices to match. Anyways, chime in if you know any fun facts about em!
