Object History note - 'NOTES ON OBJECTS IN THE ROBERT DAWSON COLLECTION, FROM CONVERSATION MAY 2018 [...] BD105 Gypsy fortune-telling deck. These are from Buckland, the American – all of the cards with waggons and so on. I bought them in 1988. They must be worth about £150 now, all of his stuff is very collectible. He stopped doing it and I never found out what happened to him.', MERL List - Box Number: 10 // Artefact Number: BD 105 // Description: Cards - Gypsy fortune telling deck
