Published by Justo Rodero with Gaucho suit symbols, the mate gourd, the sun, "facón" and gaucho club (palo borracho), "Naipes Casino Estilo Argentino" was designed to capture the essence of Gaucho culture in graphic expression. There were several editions spanning 1949 - 1970s in either hard slip-boxes or cardboard tuckboxes. The four of gourds carries details of the company's name and address which, along with the government tax stamp, aids in dating. Packs produced after 1968 do not have a tax stamp. (See "Naipes Casino" for further information).

Right: packs published in hard slip-boxes carried an explanatory narrative on the back of the box (shown right). These packs were first published by Justo Rodero in 1949. The text explains that the Kings represent elder Gauchos, the Cavaliers represent young Gaucho men whilst the (female) Jacks depict young "criolla" maidens.
