Souvenir deck with photos depicting California in the early years of the 20th century. M. Rieder is the photographer and seems to have specialized in photos of California in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition to the normal 52 cards, there is a joker, and another card with a laughing mule with a bit of a joke on it. These come in the original box, with some damage, as shown in the pictures.
