I would love to review this deck, and talk about the finish, the faro capability, and the general
overall satisfaction I feel while handling this deck.
I would love to, but I received one
deck as a promo and dare not even open the wrapper. This deck will occupy a place in my trove of
mint, never touched decks.
I will resist its siren call as long as I can, but I fear I will
succumb to the lure, and tear it open one fine day.
Five stars for being able to get this
Penguin deck on promo. If anyone needs a first-born male child, willing to trade for a second deck.
I have #002. I should really have another but when the freebie did not appear in my cart I did not place the order, only to see that there was still one in stock a month later!?
What I am surprised at is that this deck is not labelled a Reproduction.
Have a look at Bicycle Club Back 1917-1969 (no.19 on Mrs Robinson's Bicycle list) and you will see it looks identical.
Joseph Pierson's wonderful website is a good place to view it
