Awrey's Bakery has been around longer than any of us and being that it originated in Detroit via Ontario, Canada it has been ingrained in my psyche since I've been able to think. Not that it has played any prominent role in my life but it has always been in the background especially since a longtime girlfriend lived near one of their main bakery outlets and I drove by it regularly for years. Anyway, this is about cards and not personal nostalgia so let's get on with it.
The Apollo Ace of Spades is the prototypical filigreed embellishment with the name APOLLO sat in the center of the large pop in block letters with "Made in the U. S. A." written under it in semi-cursive. Since I have zero experience with Apollo Playing Cards I can't really comment on it beyond that.
The Jokers from this pack are a bit curious in that they are laid out in the fashion of a Face Card in two halves with both a torso and head on bottom and top with the hands enfolded, one card having JOKER printed in red and the other in black. Sat on each side of the divided torsos are the Club and Spades pips with the HEARTS and DIAMONDS pips on the Joker's vest.
