A fascinating subset of my bird jokers (itself a subcategory of flyers and of animals) are the rooster and chicken jokers. First of all, there's the jokers from an entire playing card deck with chicken artwork.
These next two rooster jokers were, I believe, produced as part of a deck about one of the great video games. Could it be one of the Final Fantasy releases?
This next rooster joker is rare and it's one that I think I found in a used deck in a junk store in the 1970s. I was just reading the 52 Plus Joker March auction list and I saw this joker was the A Dougherty joker for their low end Steamboat decks.
Any info on this rooster?
Another pair of rooster jokers which I can't seem to provide any illuminating information about. sigh.
Here's one of my favorite jokers of all time. I bought it in the mid 70s in a barn junk store up in New England. Admittedly, it is a peacock, not a rooster. Sorry, too beautiful to not include.
Here's more cards from the Cabaret deck. Since I love that artwork, I've included a lot of it.
And a quote fromfrom birplayingcards.com website where they talk about the Belle Epoque in France.
