BEL-026: "Giraf No. 778", as it says on the box. Dutch pattern on the courts and aces with scenes from Paris. Printed in lithography by Biermans. and published in the late 1920's. Complete with 52 cards and a Nain Jaune joker, all in very good condition. However, I'm not sure if the cards come in the original box. They fit in the box, but it's really tight. Maybe because they have a slight warp, maybe because it's not the original box. Still, the box has a nice illustration of a giraffe on it. Click HERE to see it.
