Faro Playing Cards. Philadelphia: Continental Card Co., 1894. 52 + Partial Wrapper. Near Mint. Faro cards had square corners, one-way court cards and no indices on the numbered cards. The courts are almost identical to those produced by Samuel Hart in New York so perhaps Continental was a firm created by Hart to produce their cards in Philadelphia after they combined with NYCC. A red two-cent tax stamp used between 1894 and 1896 is affixed to part of the wrapper.
