So does the Q of H help identify the maker of the cards?

Does this help at all?
Thanks!

The Adams Museum has the ace of diamonds, ace of clubs, eight of hearts, eight of spades, and the queen of hearts. They do not have the ace of spades. So which manufacturer had the blue with circles back design?

I just heard back from the Adams Musemum in Deadwood. They sent me photos of the back and the front of the 8 of hearts.
Back:
Front:
Clearly these are not Squeezers. So does anyone recognize the back pattern? Do they date to 1876?

I called the Adams Museum today and the lady said that she would look at the cards that they have and would get back to me in a week.

Here's the reference I was refering to:
"The Adams Museum in Deadwood has a display that claims to be the actual Bulldog Squeezers Playing Cards held by Hickok (ace of diamonds, ace of clubs, eight of hearts, eight of spades, and the queen of hearts)"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_man%27s_hand
I called the Adams museum but theay are closed on Mondays. I'll try later on in the week.

A Cellar of Fine Vintages / Wild Bill Hickok Deck?

Hello! First post here!
I'm trying to find out what deck of cards that was used when Wild Bill Hickok was killed. The only refference I can find is that it was a deck of "Bulldog Squeezers".
Wild Bill was killed Aug 2, 1876. Fromw what I can find the Bulldog Squeezers were introduced in 1877, AFTER Wild Bill was killed.
Does anyone know what type deck of cards that was being used when Wild Bill was killed?
