Biographical / Historical

By 1877, Squeezers were a gresat success on account of little indices in the corners which enabled the cards to be held in a fan, or "squeezed."By the late 1870s incdices came into common use on English and American cards. Many versions of the Ace of Spades are known. The brand usually comes with the 'Gold Medal Joker,' but the earliest editions had the 'Best Bower.' The revenue stamp is cancelled out circa 1915.
