A Cellar of Fine Vintages / Miniature card deck. No maker.

First of all, I want to thank all of you who responded to my posting of the Democracy Playing Cards.  The information provided was greatly appreciated.

Today I am posting a miniature deck found at a recent estate sale.  I can find no manufacturer's name.  Came with an extra joker card, so that may be a clue to it's approximate age.

Once again, I appreciate your valued comments.

Al

I just realized that there is only one Joker.  The other card is printed with text on both sides, so I don't think that it can be used as a Joker.  Am I missing a Joker?

Thanks, Al

Good eye Don!  And thanks for the additional information.  Attached are some close ups of the stamp.  The date looks to be 1 1 20.  Although difficult to see, the stamp was cancelled by R.P.C.Co.  Was it usual for a company to cancel the stamps of another?

Also, even though the box has issues, do you have any idea of what this deck would be worth?

Thanks again, A&K

Thank you ecNate and Don Boyer.  Well, thanks for the kind words and interpretive information.  I think that we have something special that needs some further research.  Until we found this site and found out the enormous interest in playing cards, we had no idea it existed.  So, we all learn something every day, and we are grateful for it.  Now.....have K&I started a new collecting venue?  Thanks again, Al & Kathy

Hello ecNate.  Thanks for the reply and the references.  I actually collect military items and the deck was in with the other items, hence our lack of knowledge about card collecting.  Have you ever seen one like this before?  The auction site that you referenced showed the auction was in 2007 and the estimate selling price was 150 to 200 Euros.  We don't belong to that site, so we aren't sure whether it sold or not.  We are surprised at the estimated value.  Thanks again for your help.  A&K

First time posting here.  Seeking information on this deck of cards.  Included in a grouping of WW1 military items.  The deck was open, but the cards appear to be unused.  Internet searches for information have not provided any info.  We are hoping that the expert members of this forum will be able to help.  More pictures to follow.  Many thanks in advance, Al and Kathy.
