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.

Thank you for the link. I love the design.
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.
Very beautiful set!!
Thanks Virginia and aghcollect!
