Naipes Casino Estilo Argentino
Naipes Casino Estilo Argentino by Justo Rodero with Gaucho suit symbols: the mate gourd, the sun, "facón" and gaucho club (palo borracho).
Published by Justo Rodero with Gaucho suit symbols, the mate gourd, the sun, "facón" and gaucho club (palo borracho), "Naipes Casino Estilo Argentino" was designed to capture the essence of Gaucho culture in graphic expression. There were several editions spanning 1949 - 1970s in either hard slip-boxes or cardboard tuckboxes. The four of gourds carries details of the company's name and address which, along with the government tax stamp, aids in dating. Packs produced after 1968 do not have a tax stamp. (See "Naipes Casino" for further information).
Justo Rodero also manufactured standard Spanish-suited cards titled "Naipes Casino" and "Naipes Habana", as well as Anglo-American Poker-style packs. The company is still in existence today and is one of the leading manufacturers in Argentina (website: www.naipes-casino.com.ar/).
