An interesting boxed, unused deck of playing cards with a Paul Kruger/Afrikaner/Boer theme. These were manufactured around the time of 50 years of Union & establishment of the Republic of South Africa c.1960/61. At the time of issue the deck cost 75c and postage of 5c was added to receive a deck in the mail.
There are a number of Boer symbols represented in the deck i.e. President Kruger as the "Ace", a Kommandant as the "King", Boer woman with kappie as the "Queen" and the Boer with bandolier represents the "Jack". The four different suits are ox-wagon wheels (spades), powder horns (hearts), jukskeie (diamonds) & velskoene (clubs).
Pse note the deck of cards is still sealed with transparent paper and a sticker resembling the shape of Africa.
The following pics are from a similar deck which was open. It shows the reverse of the cards as well as some examples of the front of the playing cards. (I only used the following pics to show what is inside the sealed deck)
