1894 Samual Hart Playing Cards

Cards are Squeezers No. 35 with "SECONDS" written on the top half and "The N. Y. CONSOLIDATED CARD CO" on the bottom of the box. 

The Ace of Spades has both New York Consolidated Card Company and Samuel Hart & Co with both the number "35" and "seconds" written on it.

 The joker has Best Bower printed on it.

The box is in rough condition and the flap is torn at the crease.  The tax stamp is also torn but shows act of Aug 1894 and "two cents." 

The deck includes all the cards, the joker and the "Sorted by number 18" notice. On the notice, it calls these "Celebrated" Angel Back Cards.
