    Wonderful looking cards. There is a complete set of the blue background and a couple of missing cards from the second deck. The photos do not do them justice. Art Deco images.

      I think yours are 1920's era since Russell Card Co. became part of U.S. Playing Card Co. in 1929. Here's another set posted on CW several years ago.

      I was put off by the Joker - it is the same as the one in my American Airlines deck, but mine are by U.S. Playing Card and about circa early 1960's.
