1876 No. 18 Triplicate Dragon Blue Original Release Limited Restoration
The Triplicate No.18 deck was the first of its kind. Andrew Dougherty was granted a U.S. Patent for the Triplicate feature which was a miniature card placed in the top left and bottom right corners. It was one of the firest decks with a corner indicies. It was a revolution in the way cards could be held and viewed. The decorative ace of spades and the wrapper for the first No.18 Triplicate deck showed a fanned hand of cards with the triplicate miniature indices viewable on each card.The dragon back is one of the few backs that is still printed by the United States Playing Card Company today. The modern version is a Bicycle Deck.
