Summary
A pack of playing cards in its original box. Each card has a design in red on the back (one of the Jokers has a different red design on the back, but the black-printed joker himself is identical to the other). Also included is a card detailing instructions for scoring in contract bridge. The box is made from a single piece of white cardboard printed in red and folded. This is quite scruffy and the end flap is missing. Total number of items is 56.
