Re: NCR - - older Faro Cards...*wd*

I collect faro apparatus. A truly complete set of faro equipment would include:

1 Faro cards - Most were made by Samuel Hart & Co. Repros can be found on eBay.
2 Layout (Betting surface)
3 Casekeeper (Keeps track of the played cards)
4 Dealing box (I especially love gaffed/cheating ones.)
5 Chip rack
6 Chips - Chips, splits, coppers, etc.
7 Corner Rounder
8 Card trimmer
9 Faro table

There were a number of gambling supply houses that sold faro equipment, including:

1 Will & Finck, San Francisco
2 Mason & Co., Chicago
3 George Mason & Co., Denver & Chicago
4 A. Ball & Sons, Chicago
5 H.C. Evans, Chicago

There are many more makers, but the ones above are probably the most frequently encountered.

Any questions about faro or faro apparatus, just let me know.
