It has been a very good day for collecting indeed…. They didn’t have decent pics, but decks are expected to be pretty immaculate - will get some pics when they arrive…

Honestly I have no idea if this is old and real, old and fake, or just a tourist thing from some part of the world, but I threw money at it without thought or regret…

Handmade set of bone playing cards and case…


cards are 1 1/4” x 3/4”

box is 4 1/4 × 2 3/8 × 1 inch deep

Looking at the AoS and the design of the case (not the design on the case) cards were from same maker as these three:
