Circa 1970 606 Congress Playing Cards Double Pack of Mountain Scenes

My first packs of Congress Playing Cards. Snagged at the thrift store for 50 cents. Circa 1970ish. While these are not the most exciting pack I have purchased I figured that I should start documenting what I do have while I have relatively few packs.

There's a name for the plastic case which the cards come in but I can't recall it and since it's neither a rare or valuable set of decks I'll refrain from seeking that information out. 

I will however note both the Jokers and the Aces of Spades. The snowy mountain scene Ace has the code C 2012 beneath the Spade and the summer scene is coded as C 2008.

Atlasnye Russian Playing Card Deck

This Atlasnye (Атласные) (Russian word for "satin") Ace of Diamonds from a Russian playing card deck is based on a design by the Russian painter Adolf Iosifovich Charlemagne (1826-1901) (Адольф Иосифович Шарлемань) from1862.  Although the original deck seemingly had 52 cards this vintage one that I purchased from Ukraine recently only has 36. I will post the entire deck as time permits.
