Cards themselves are in great condition with no creases/folds. A Very Good Plus deck.

Two-piece box – white cover with gold “body” box. Box text is printed in black ink. Publication information on the side of the box says “Distributed by Samuel Weiser, 734 Broadway, N.Y. 10003; Printed in U.S.A.”
Card suit (“Trumps” for the majors) printed in large, light letters, with card title (majors, courts) or keyword (minors) superimposed in medium-size type. The contrast between the two overlapping typefaces is poor, making the titles difficult to read. No Hebrew letters or astrological symbols are present.
