[U.S. Civil War – Confederacy] Goodall & Son Confederate States of America Playing Cards. London, England, ca. 1864. 52 (but the 8H is actually a 6D, lightly re-colored in hearts). Backs having crossed Confederate flags above seal, lettered “Confederate States of America/Deo Vindice.” Printed for use by the Confederacy and, according to Goodall company records, smuggled in through the New Orleans blockade. This is one of perhaps fewer than five examples known, and the only deck produced for the Confederate States during the American Civil War. Hochman W10.
