Record status

Individual type · partial

This collectible set from Ruger Firearms comprises two full decks of playing cards housed within a custom-made, light-colored wooden box. The box features professional finger-jointed corners and a functional sliding lid secured by a semicircular finger pull at one end.

The exterior of the lid is adorned with a prominent printed black graphic of a stylized eagle with wings spread, positioned above a serif monogram consisting of the intertwined letters S and R. Below this logo is a small, registered trademark symbol in a circle. The set includes two individual card decks, each presented in its own cardboard tuck box. These tuck boxes are printed with the company name in bold, black block lettering, with 'RUGER' at the top and 'FIREARMS' at the bottom.

A central window in the tuck boxes reveals the card backs, which feature a matching eagle and monogram design. One deck has black card backs, while the other features silver-toned backs. The wooden storage box, which has an unfinished interior, measures approximately 11 3/4 inches in length by 7 3/4 inches in width.
