Naipes Tiburón - Flaiban y Camilloni
Flaiban y Camilloni, c.1936, Naipes Tiburón, Tela de Araña.
Flaiban y Camilloni Ltda, Buenos Aires 1936-41
In 1930 E. Flaiban merged with Camilo Camilloni to become Flaiban y Camilloni Ltda. Playing cards were first produced in 1936: registered brands include "Tiburón", "Patito" & "Tela de Araña". Some brands were also sold in neighbouring Uruguay. The military coup of 1941 destabilised business, and the alliance was wound down in 1942.
Thanks to Diego Flaiban for information about E. Flaiban.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
