My husband found 3 decks at an out of town Goodwill! Second time he found some decks @ $2.00 each, he takes the risk- some are fortune telling, but 1 looks like an Il Meneghello deck. There is no identifying card. I have 2 newer decks by Il Meneghello and this box is made the same. This 2 piece box is covered in all cream/tan (very discolored) w/ the Lovers card affixed to front. I have identified deck as a VANDENBORRE BACCHUS from both Ace & Two of Coins. The card shape w/ square corners are also like my other Il Meneghello, the back has light blue hexagrams w/ sun image? - made with rays, no circle made by line, and abstract eyes-nose-mouth made with lines.I would like to identify and assess value. I am thinking of selling- probably would not use. Have not been able to find if Il Meneghello ever made Vandenborre Bacchus deck.
Addendum- from responses below the card back is like posted images, however the box is different. The box does not appear mass produced, there is no printing on box, only the Lovers card glued to top cover which lifts off. If you have seen Il Meneghello box, this is made the same way.
Deck 2 is a 1969 BP Grimaud Astro Mythological Mlle Lenormand.The copyright is on booklet. I have seen newer editions on eBay and Amazon.
Any help, ideas who to ask for more info etc . Thank you
