Re: congress playing cards woodlands backing--unopened deck...
Your deck of Congress Cards were first printed in 1913 and are a named deck, " Woodland "
Printed in two different but similar back designs. One with a plain border and the one pictured that also has the name WOODLAND printed on the bottom of the card back.
