The partially pictured deck at the left was donated to the Musem in 1980.
There are 44 cards (9cm long x 5.8cm wide) in the deck. No container or instructions were with the deck. Card backs (right of photograph) are similar to those found on a standard deck of cards.
At the top of the face of each card is a sketch of animal. The bottom face of the card has the same sketch in reverse. A suit symbol appears in the center and the corners of each card - star, heart, horseshoe, clover.
Numbers 1 through 11 appear in the corners of the cards. Eleven cards contain a sketch of a squirrel. Eleven cards contain a sketch of a rabbit. Eleven cards contain a sketch of a raccoon. Ten cards contain a sketch of a cat - the eleventh "cat" card has the word "Jinx" on it printed in red.
