Original Angel Back Squeezers Discontinuation date

[magicphill]

Does anyone know when the USPCC discontinued the Angel back squeezers ? I have a book where these are used in the photos that was produced in the late 80s though looking at the tax stamps I suspect these were made much earlier. Their also pictures of a bridge size Aristocrat banknote deck which I am guessing must have still been in production in the 80s also

Intel that helps, but does not answer completely: Bridge-sized angel back Squeezers were still for sale in the USPC gift shop in the late 1990s.  Poker-sized Aristocrats were discontinued in the mid- to late-1980s, IIRC, with remnants still for sale in places through the mid-1990s.  Not sure about narrow sized Aristocrats, though the ones in my collection are 1960s back through the 1930s.

Angle Back Squeezers were reprinted in 2010 and can be found on eBay for as little as $5.

Here's Jim Knapp's page about non-Bicycle decks, including the Angel Back Squeezers.

Holy crap MagikFingerz I didn't know you were famous!  I'm impressed.  You're link #10.  You're on a list with Tom and Judy.  To bad link #7 and #12 doesn't work. 

My personal favorite is link #4.   http://a.trionfi.eu/WWPCM/WWPCM/usa/USPCC.htm
