Naipe de Bridge

English pattern courts in “Naipe de Bridge No.356103” produced locally in Ecuador. Indices K, Q, J, A. Three Jokers, one of which appears to have a trademark (see also flap of box). Blue patterned backs. “ELABORADO EN EL ECUADOR” on flap of box►

Above: Standard English pattern pack made in Ecuador, c.1970. 52 cards + 3 Jokers in tuck box. Size 58 x 88 mm. Poor quality card.

Note from Ken Lodge

They’re clearly a close copy of Goodall/DLR/Waddington’s GDW12 courts and Goodall’s joker, except that the KD for some odd reason is based on that of Piatnik. I’d say the date was 1960s. I notice that the back design of the pack is also a copy of one used by Waddington for DLR cards.
