1864 Saladee's Patent Restoration Playing Cards

Great looking reproduction playing cards.

They are cards! They had all of them and they were all the same size. Pips and face cards look right. Packaging looks good. Stash this in your haversack for after the battle.

This deck of cards are perfect for what I will be using them for in card magic.

Cards are very stiff and don't fan very well. Seem very dry. Glossy finish ads a 'cheap' feel when dealing. This could be because they are a reproduction and are authentic to the era but nonetheless, not a fan of the quality. The court cards are what drew me to these and they did not disappoint.

Nice looking, well made

We love these vintage cards!!

I was really looking forward to these cards. Unfortunately, when I receive it in the mail, the glue that was holding the tuck box was already coming apart so the bottom of the box isn't secure. This was straight out of the celophane too. The other issue that I found is that contrary to the answer provided by the company, there are no Jokers in this deck. There are two advertisement looking cards as well as a blank and bower card. It's too bad that they weren't more specific in that their "jokers" weren't the typical red and black jester face cards since that is what I needed.Other than that, the cards look fine and it's a cool idea but with a somewhat shoddy execution mixed with poor communication.

Terribly dissapointed, nice cards but not useable to play with. The numbers and figures too small to see. But if your into vintage you will like them. It just wasn't what I thought. My fault for not checking first.
