I can confirm that the Swedish American line deck is made by John Waddingtons.
The Courts (Waddingtons standard pattern W.2) date the deck between 1930-1940, After 1940 all the Jacks loose their moustaches and the King of Hearts gains a moustache .
The Ace of Spades and Joker are both specially designed specifically for that shipping line.
Many thanks for that information. That narrows it down good.

Hi, new member from Sweden here. My collection contains mostly of Swedish decks, bridge size.

These are two of my latest  acquisitions:

Souvenir deck from Swedish American Line, New York - Gothenburg
The ship on the back, I think, is Gripsholm. Which would place the deck around 1925-1954, most likely in the later span.
Possible manufactured by John Waddington Ltd. of Britain. It says J. W. Ltd. on the control slip.



Öberg's double deck 363x, from 1933

I've got two decks with the same design, one blue and one red. Sad to say, I don't have any boxes.

Am I to understand that this is not a Banknote deck? Is there any name for this back design?

Also, my decks, I think, is newer. According to a page I found the "K" can be as late as 1988. When did they stop making this backs?

(I'm sorry if my questions already seems to be answered, but I'm from Sweden and new to the american decks. So I don't quite get the abbreviations.)
