Parabeco Fortune Telling Cards

Little is known about this rare deck, printed in Czechoslovakia around 1920 for the Parabeco company of New York, whose main business was jewelry. The cards were printed by a process known as chromolithography, in white, red, and blue, with the white and red combined to add pink. Each card has its title and divinatory meaning printed on the card in English, French, and German, although oddly, not in Czech. 

Parabeco also created and sold 32 sided crystal fortune telling dice that could be used instead of cards.
