Above: Naipes Guarany by C. Della Penna S.A.C.I. with green ‘Mercury’ tax stamp on the ace of hearts, pink colouring to faces on the court cards, c.1945.
Above: Naipes Guarany by C. Della Penna S.A.C.I. with ‘Marianne’ tax stamp on the ace of hearts, c.1955-68. The Joker has slight differences in the position of the lettering compared with the earlier example, but this is due to the colours being differently aligned.
Above: two matching Naipes Guarany decks, with red or blue boxes and wrapper. The company name of C. Della Penna S.A.C.I, the orange 1 Peso tax band on the wrapper and the green "Marianne" tax stamp on the ace of hearts suggests a date of c.1955-68.
Shortly after this the court cards were revised to a new version based on the designs of Goodall, along with a new Joker which also appeared in Naipes Congreso and Naipes Inca (Anglo-American version)►
