This pack was made around 1930 by Deutsche Spielkartenfabrik Walter Scharff in Munich. It is an advertising pack made for the cigarette company Garbáty in Berlin. There is no name of the maker, and the tax stamp is illegible.

On first sight, the court cards look like those of the Berlin pattern, but actually they are all modified to be smokers, and they also hold advertising for Garbáty cigarettes in their hands. On all court cards is 'Garbáty Zigaretten'. On the Aces is a picture of the Garbáty factory.
