Half of the eight card decks are new, even though the original seals have been broken.Three other decks have had their fair share of use, while the plastic deck containing an image of the Golden Gate Bridge was never used. One deck features the Hershey's chocolate syrup can from 1985. If you lean close to it--it actually smells like chocolate. Otherwise, the other 7 decks range from the mid 1940's to the late 1980's. Only the Mohawk Pinochle deck has the right side of the box ripped. Happy bidding on this vintage playing card/pinochle lot.
