The Ace of Clubs you did find in a book was simply used as a page marker. The kind of card (Ace) has no special meaning. Probably it was just a left over card from an incomplete deck. As from the 15th century left over playing cards have been used for about averything one can do with paper. My collection of over 4300 reused playing cards, dating from late 1400 until present, cover over 300 forms of secondary use. If you like to know more and see examples, please let me know.<br />Your blogs are great!<br />Greetings from The Netherlands,<br />Gejus van Diggele Gejus van Diggelenoreply@blogger.com
