Other information:   a good old game from Jarvis Porter, "Porterprint Ltd was a printing business based in Leeds (UK) which manufactured playing cards during the period c.1930-c.1980. Porterprint was also known as Jarvis Porter Ltd and the name was normally printed around the top of the Ace of Spades and on the quality control card. A wide variety of advertising cards for household brands, including Butlin's Holidays and many breweries were produced, as well as card games such as “Ba-Kar-ee”, “Kan-U-Go”, a crossword game, and “Top Dividend”, based on forecasting football results. The firm ceased manufacturing playing cards in around 1980." Source: wopc.co.uk - we are not entirely sure of the exact age but would suggest circa 1950s to 1960s - may be of some interest to a collector.
