The 1864 Poker deck is an accurate reproduction of a Civil War-era pack of playing cards with full length, single-ended court figures. Box reproduced with original tax stamps showing hand cancellation June 2, 1864.
This is a great reproduction of these classic cards. With a little history lesson in the insert these cards are completely authentic. They actually re-sparked my interest in solitaire again.

Excellent quality for the price. Well worth the cost in shipping if you need an accurate Civil War period card deck.Great for history buffs and if you want to hold a Civil War poker party.NOTE: The cards themselves are accurate reproductions of a civil war deck, However the packaging is not. Not a complaint really, just keep in mind the out side packaging is modern.
Good pocket prop

The stamps are printed, not actual stamps. I was surprised to discover they had bar codes in 1864 but it's discretly printed on the bottom of the box. The cards themselves are quite nice.
One of a kind

I had been searching for an antique deck of cards to be used in an antique gun display, I had just about given up when I found these - they worked out perfectly and look very authetic.
