Picked up this deck of cards today from a little antique store because they're just the kind of antique I love ;)
After some quick research it looks like they were a promotional deck for JOB Cigarette Papers based in France. The people at the store couldn't tell me much except that they came from a 90 year old woman. They look fairly old but so far I haven't found another deck of these online so I don't know how old. Any experts around? Thanks.

Here's a playing card site that dates them to about 1930.
