Great news, Andrew, and thanks for posting.
Now that we know it's Liberty, I am on the hunt for the Green Indian Head information. Btw, I use the term "Indian Head" with no intended disrespect to Native Americans. I believe it appropriate with reference to the design.
Andrew... do you have any idea what they call that type of packaging.
Don... I see your point about the lack of logo or company name. I wonder if there was an insert under the cello wrapping that had that information.
About Liberty Playing Cards:
Liberty Playing Card Company is a Texas-based company which produces custom-made playing cards. Liberty was started in 1970 in Chicago. In late 70's it moved down to Arlington, Texas.
In late 1980s all of the playing card assets of Western Playing Card Co. (Western Publishing) brands such as Guild, Colortone, Invincible, Imperial, Boulevard, Western, Whitman etc. were acquired.
Usually, they make regular playing cards except that the backs have business logos on them. In 2003, they produced the most-wanted Iraqi playing cards for the United States government. They also made a set of cards parodying the most wanted Iraqi cards, which featured US government officials.
Also... in case no one has this link:

Until again...
My thanks.
