Another lucky find in the Congress category - the scarcely seen 1903 variant of "Yacht".  Not great condition, but you take what you can find!  The box indicates that this was originally sold at a Boots stationers in England.

Considering the deck is about 120 years old, I'd say it's in excellent shape.  Any creased or torn cards, or did you really luck out and find an undamaged deck?
