What's the deck?... Help

Thread originally posted on the Aeclectic Tarot Forum on 30 May 2005, and now archived in the Forum Library.



ros  30 May 2005 
A lady gave me a deck of cards. There was no book or name on
the box. The box is white with 6 blue swords on both sides with
a flower in the middle.

Pentacles are yellow.
Wands are orange.
Cups are aqua blue.
Swords are purple.
The color of the cards are in a white border on every card.
They're not RWS.

Would anyone know what deck this is?
I've been looking through deck pictures here.

Let's narrow it down further.

What's the size in inches of the deck in height and width?

Are the minors unillustrated or do they show scenes?

What does the image on the Sun card look like (the Fool cards are sometimes all pretty similar, but Sun cards can be unique to a deck).

Are all the card titles standard or do they rename one or two of them?

Is there an artist name really tiny anywhere on the cards, specifically on the majors or the Aces? Or initials?

What design is on the back of the cards, is it also solid color or multi colored?

This will help narrow down which deck it could be.

Is it this one?

If so it is the Jonathan Dee/Shirley Barker deck.
Also known as the Barnes and Noble deck. Or the Parragon deck. Depending on the publishers.

Also the Tarot in a tin deck.

Lillie is correct.


Thanks for your time,
Lillie & HudsonGray!
