Above: deck with double-ended courts made by Strauss & Trier, New York, c.1860. This is the only known design by this manufacturer. Some of the pips are on the left, some are on the right-hand side, and there are no indices. The courts are loosely derived from those of De La Rue, however the queen of diamonds has apparently been interchanged with the queen of spades.
