This souvenir pack was made by an unknown Cuban manufacturer after 1936. It was possibly made by Romo & Kredi in Havana.

Characteristic for this pack is the back with the U.S.A. and Cuban flag and the heads of Uncle Sam and a Cuban.

There are several versions of this pack, either with some different pictures or with the pictures on different card values. There is also often one picture twice in one pack, like here on the Ace and King of Clubs and on the Nine of Clubs and the Joker.

There is a partial tax band on the box referring to a law of 23 August 1935. The dating is also due to the fact that the Amphitheatre on the Eight of Diamonds was built in 1936.
