Destroyed Dondorf Lenormand Fortune Telling Cards c. 1880
$43.00
From Budapest, these ruined Dondorf cards were loved and used for a very long time.
Amazingly the deck was complete, all 36 cards, except for a few torn corners. They were taped together, had ink spilled upon them, corners torn off. Before it was destroyed the front design is described in Braun's catalog as Variation #2.
Here they are bought to you in a form you can use and enjoy. The deck is complete and contains 2 Lady and 2 Gentleman cards, for readers who like use them for same-sex readings instead of traditional alternates, Snake and Cavalier.
The cards are made for people who plan to use their cards often. They are printed on modern day, casino grade card stock (black core, 320 gsm) that can be riffle shuffled and feels wonderful in hand and come in a tuck box. Card size is 2-1/2 x 3-1/2"
The decks will be specially ordered just for you and mailed in 3-4 weeks, although probably sooner.
