Dertor Bridge

Dertor is a lesser-known manufacturer of playing cards in Poland which has now been absorbed into the Cartamundi empire, leaving Trefl as an independent rival in Poland. There is no name (or reference number) for this pack on the box so let’s call it “Dertor Bridge”. The designs appear traditional but are in fact non-standard, probably to avoid litigation on the part of other manufacturers. The courts are double-ended and have relatively modern facial expressions. There is a date of 1990 on the Ace of Spades (probably when the company was founded). On all the Aces, 2s, 4s and the Jokers, the words “CARTA REGIA” appear (Latin: Royal Charter). Indices: K, Q, J, A.
