PLAYING CARDS

HISTORY:

One of this country's famed statesmen, Benjamin Franklin, born in Boston in 1706, might be considered one of America's first playing card manufacturers. He learned the printer's trade through his early apprenticeship to his older brother James, and began his trade as early as 1732, not only as a manufacturer of wall paper, but also as a printer of stationary and "playing cards". In 1746 he began his electrical research which proved that lightning and electricity are one in the same. His friction machine, which was used for his electrical experiments, used waste playing cards for insulating discs. This machine along with the playing card discs are displayed in the Philadelphia Library, founded by Ben Franklin in 1731. (Others find that playing cards make an excellent feeler gauge since they are so precise in thickness, varying from .010 to .011, depending on the make of the cards.)

Authentic casino cards that have been used sparingly in casino play. These cards have been cancelled by way of a cut corner on both opposite corners of the cards. The corner cut measures approx. 1/16" and is noticeable, but the cards are all cut identical and still work well in play. These cards have original casino logos printed on the back.   Sometimes we can get an assortment of canceled cards however this is not always the case.  We do not guarantee an assortment of different logos or colors.
