Thank you, Dave.

Here is a wonderful description of Mr. Schmidlapp's hosting of an 1897 Commercial Clubs reunion event at his home, "Kirchheim", starting on page 24.

Read the article. It must have been nice to have money and be connected at that time.

Just saw this special Congress deck posted. 1926 date code.

The temporary Congress 606 website is now available for review. Any help will be appreciated. http://congresscardbacks.weebly.com/

Great project! I have a 1910 sample book that helps, and some decks. One new Diana back, Congress Monogram design, Polly (Yes, a 606), a Lily where you can see the gold ink, and a different George Washington. If you need more detail, just let me know.

NCC1888 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 05, 2020, 02:58:13 PM »

Thank you once again. I've added them to the database but not the website yet.

And one more I just received today, sealed - Mildred, and an Extra Congress frog, a little different version from one posted

And a one more for the name list from this 1900 Congress Playing Cards in Miniature - Josephine - and a couple different color variations of cards you already have. And another new name, Minuet, from this 1904 Evening at Cards booklet, plus some name variations (Mill for Old Mill, Spanish for Spanish Dancer)

Chuqii · « **Reply #34 on:** February 05, 2020, 06:37:09 PM »

Last one for now - new name The Shower (2nd row, 2nd from left)

Thank you. I've made all the corrections. I also corrected the website name list. Is Mildred before or after 1930?

Chuqii · « **Reply #36 on:** February 06, 2020, 02:11:49 PM »

Sealed, but it has a 1926 Auction Bridge card and a 10 cent tax stamp, and came in a Two Pack set with a Dolores deck (also sealed), so pretty sure it is pre-1930. Also, the other decks that came in the lot were all 1927 based upon Ace of Spades date code.

NCC1888 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 07, 2020, 09:19:21 AM »

Which 10 cent stamp was it?

Chuqii · « **Reply #38 on:** February 07, 2020, 12:19:09 PM »

It is the larger one (1929-1949). Guess it might not be pre-1930. But let me redeem myself with Blue Bonnet copyright 1928 from a 1930 catalog page, and Rapids, Silvery Moon, and Powhatan from a 1915 catalog page.

NCC1888 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 07, 2020, 04:37:24 PM »

Thank you, that was a good "save'.
There are 2 versions of the long horizontal stamp. 1929 with perforations on 2 sides and 1930 with perforations on all sides.

I never knew that about the long 29 cent stamps. I’ll check on Monday.

A year ago I got into playing card tax stamps. I could not find everything about them I wanted to know in one source. So I ended up creating my own reference book. I think it's pretty thorough. I even made one for Canada tax stamps. There are several tax stamps that are very valuable and can add value to a deck if you know what to look for. If you are interested I can email you, or any readers of this post, a copy.

Dave,

I believe that I have bits and pieces, but if you have assembled something I'd like to have it. Do I sense another weebly site coming?? (I think that would be nice.)

NCC1888 · « **Reply #43 on:** February 08, 2020, 02:02:02 PM »

Never thought about it but that might be a great idea.

Chuqii · « **Reply #44 on:** February 08, 2020, 10:19:29 PM »

If it is anything like your Congress backs, I’m sure it is thorough, and I’d love to have a copy.

NCC1888 · « **Reply #45 on:** February 09, 2020, 11:05:56 AM »

Sent you copies.
What I forgot to tell Matt was that the "RF" numbers used are from the Scott Catalog for stamp collecting. Their Hochman for stamp collecting. If there is any particular stamp you might want you can use that number. https://www.ericjackson.com/rsubprod1_2x.asp?MCAT=&CAT=US_Revenue&CAT2=RF1-29-1&q2=&dateRange=&page=&intGroup=&Cond= is a really good place to search for a stamp. You can see pictures and pricing. Or you can use the reference on eBay searches. Last year I was able to get a good deal ($70) for a perfect stamp only used by the Pyramid Card Company.

Chuqii · « **Reply #46 on:** February 10, 2020, 10:52:29 AM »

REDEMPTION! Mildred has the 1929 2 perf stamp.

Glad I could help.
