Sands & McDougall Aces & Jokers

Sands & McDougall produced many beautiful Spade Aces and Jokers for advertising or special brands. This selection is from the collection of Jan Walls.

Above: spider web back design. Curiously this design is similar to “Naipes Tela de Araña” by E. Flaiban S.R.L., Buenos Aires, from late 1930s onwards.
