This deck is of the Swedish pattern. It resembles the patience cards made by Offason ( see http://anthonylesq.blogspot.sg/2012/02/swedish-playing-cards-offason.html). However, the most curious thing about this deck is where it was sold. I purchased this deck from a hardware store in Rovaniemi, a town in Finland . It may be thus concluded that Swedish playing cards are exported to Finland, and that the locals have no problem using them.
Note the ace of hearts: The maker's name is printed on it in a fashion similar to a tax stamp.
