Aristocrat 727 Bank Note Playing Cards

Product detailed description

The Aristocrat brand was founded in 1912 by the Russell Playing Card Company. The iconic Bank Note design was created by the American Bank Note Company. It produced American banknotes and briefly ventured into the world of playing cards to expand its business. Its card division was then sold to the Russell Playing Card Company. Eventually, the Russell Playing Card Company was acquired by the United States Playing Card Company in 1929.

Originally, there were more than a dozen "Bank Note" designs, but only the Back No. 1, the design of these cards, survived to some extent into later years and the present.

Aristocrat Playing Cards have historically been some of the finest decks produced by the USPC. Even now, due to the higher level of quality control, they are high-quality standard cards.

Each deck includes a blank face card.
