Are these sets any good? Were they as popular as the drueke sets?

Are these sets at good. I want a vintage set but those cheaper drueke sets look funky.

I own the 3 1/4" set. I just bought one last year on eBay. I like the set. Back in the 1960's this set was made by ARRCO Playing Card Company.

There's four or five sets on eBay right now.

Like this Haverumwilltravel. LOL! Actually seriously with this deck you can play chess with. There is a URL code on the bottom ad copy. When scanned you can download a board to use with these cards.

It is amazing how many of the Gallant Knight sets survive and how few Windsor Castle sets do.

I have the 3 1/4" set in a leatherette case with folding board. The folding board smells like an old library book. Reminds me of my childhood in the elementary school's library.

I have a B&W 5" set I'd give someone a good deal on as it's a bit worse for ware. Would sell for far less than they go for on ebay. Message me if interested!
