I need help identifying this deck!

[JakobS]

Hi Guys,

A couple of weeks ago I found a deck of cards in our apartment. I liked it and I started using it. However, the cards were already in a very bad shape so I tried to find this deck somewhere but I didn't get lucky.
Does anyone of you know what kind of deck this is? (see pictures below) Or at least another deck with the same faces (or at least the same kind of pips?).

Than you in advance.

Jakob


PS: Sry for my bad English

Hmmmm....I am not sure if that is a Fox Lake deck or not. Maybe someone who is a collector can chime in. I do know it was a fairly common older deck.

On the Ace of spades sometimes they hint or say who made the deck. I think one studs it actually says "walgreens co." on it. Since they are made by walgreens drug stores. Look on the Ace of spades and share the knowledge. I would have said it was a trick deck too (due to the back detail).. but the jumbo indexes leads me to believe otherwise. (svengali)

If you like the jumbo index then any bikes with jumbo index should do.
Fox Lake decks had a different rosette in the middle of the backs as well as a different over all back pattern but close to this. The most similar backs i could find in my collection were aviators.

Thank you for your quick answers.
I actually have a couple of jumbo index bikes at home. However, the pips of these cards are slightly different to bikes and i really like the way they look. I am really trying to find cards with the same faces the back design isn't that important for me here.

Are these plastic, or not? If they're plastic, I have a deck at home that came from a magic set that has the same backs as these, but no jumbo faces.

No they are not plastic. They do have a different finish than bikes though.
