The first Bee deck was printed more than 125 years ago, in 1892, by New York Consolidated Card Company (NYCCC). Tally-Ho. Andrew Dougherty was one of the world's earliest manufacturers of playing cards and they introduced Tally-Hos back in 1885. USPCC bought them in 1907. The Fan and Circle backs are still made today, and they're popular with cardists and flourishers thanks to their unusual linoid finish. |
