Hello all, here is another thing that, probably no one is interested in, but there is no stopping me. I just picked this up off of eBay. With my scanner, I made a mirror image of the item, which I guess is a metal (lead) printer's block (metal attached is wood block) for advertising the deck of playing cards. The DeLand cards were popular "magic" decks for many years. Google search found:

DeLAND'S AUTOMATIC PLAYING CARDS ..... MAGIC CARDS and BOX ......S.S. Adams Co. Neptune, N.J. - made in U.S.A. - copyright 1913 by T.L. DeLand .......MAGIC CARDS - each card has 8 large, and 4 small, circle designs - with round spot designs inside each circle - If you study the cards, you will learn to read them from the back as some of the round spots are white and the location of the white spots determine the rank and suit of the cards ........These cards are designed only for MAGIC TRICKS .... .... ..The Deland's Deck is a marked deck, stacked deck, and a stripper deck

Anyone familiar with the value of the block?
