Schmid Lenormand c. 1950

According to Tarotwelten.de, this Schmid Lenormand deck was issued in Germany c. 1950 but in a limited edition and never reprinted. It is very rare. Based on the notes accompanying the original deck, they hypothesize that it was a special edition of the deck commemorating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the publishing house.

This is a unique period piece. The Gentleman is casually smoking a cigarette and some of the landscapes behind the symbols are snowy, which you won't find in other antique Lenormands. The uncluttered images make this charming deck very readable.

This deck is reproduced from the original deck as-found, except that, like most of my decks, it contains 2 Ladies and 2 Gentleman who can face each other. The cards were used but not abused and the back is original.

The meanings are included on an extra card.

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.

NOTES -- PLEASE READ:

First, I accept NO CANCELLATIONS or refunds because each deck is specially ordered for you; once the order is sent to the printer, I cannot cancel it and so it will be delivered to you. If more than one deck is ordered, there is reduced shipping for the additional decks.

This is a facsimile reproduction or a restored reproduction of actual cards or period art (the Papus and 1926 Wirth decks). There is no accompanying instruction booklet but may or may not contain instructions or information on additional cards. The card stock is made to be shuffled and used and, as such, may be a disappointment to "collectors" but will delight aficionados who use and appreciate the art of antique decks. Since each deck is made to order, please be patient. Your deck will be ordered immediately but may take up to 3 to 4 weeks to arrive, internationally 3-7 weeks.
