Grimaud copy of Wüst playing cards
A copy of Wüst house pattern 3
Here is another later copy of playing cards made by C.L.Wüst of Frankfurt, Germany, in this case the third house pattern in which the kings, queens and jacks are all similar
This pack was made by B.P.Grimaud of Paris, France in about 1920 and has 32 cards. Unusually for cards by this maker the 10 of each suit has an 'X' as index, something which was often used in packs by Wüst. The pack also has German indices.

I'm British but I have now lived in the Netherlands for more than 50 years and am still enjoying every minute of it. I started collecting playing cards in the early 1980’s after speaking with my neighbour who was at that time a croupier in a casino. I started with just collecting jokers, but that soon led me to complete packs of cards and eventually to specialising in old and antique playing cards, particularly those of C.L. Wüst of Frankfurt, Germany. I am presently the Dutch representative of the I.P.C.S. and the auctioneer at the IPCS conventions.
