Hi there.

Very interesting looking playing cards, thank you for sharing these with us.

I had a search and found this little bit of information.

Prussian Doppelbild Skat Nr.620

Maker: Vereinigte Stralsunder Spielkartenfabriken A.-G. (VASS)
Country: Germany
Artist: Unknown
Year: Since 1931
Type: 36 cards
Suit: German

A German Skat deck with German suits. Skat was developed between 1810 and 1817 in Altenburg, in what is now the Federated State of Thuringia, Germany. The game is based on the three-player game of Tarock, also known as Tarot, and the four-player game of Schafkopf.

This deck was produced by " Vereinigte Altenburger und Stralsunder Spielkarten-Fabriken, A.G., Altenburg". In 1931 previously separate companies started trading under the name (vereinigte means united) and moved to Altenburg, in the state of Thuringia. A image of the factory is shown on the 7 of Bells.

Thank you for the fast reply. It appears from the links you gaveme, this deck would have been produced 1931-1945...

I would agree with you about the production date of the deck too.

Kind regards,
