Description:
[no place]: [no publisher]. Very Good. [ca. 1960s?] A deck of vernacular hand-drawn fortune telling cards, seemingly copied from a deck of Teuila Fortune Telling Cards. 44 die-cut cards numbered numbered to 45 (card #3 is missing) measuring 2" x 3.5" with illustrations on rectos only in graphite and colored pencil, numbered at the bottom in graphite and occasionally ink. Very Good, soiled, toned, and with a heavy horizontal crease to the center of the entire deck leaving cards fragile.

Provenance: This deck came out of a New Age bookstore in the Great Lakes region that closed in the 1980s. The only note with them was a scrap of paper saying "antique.
