Speed Racer Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Does anyone know what a marble in a triangle represents? Is it Mason's or the like? Does it somehow relate to gambling? I came across this old postcard with a woman with a spade shaped hairdo and in the top of her hairdo is the thing I'm talking about. I have the original illustration for this playing card but my original doesn't show this symbol in the hairdo vey well at all. Here is the playing card: "Copyright, 1909, Moffat, Yard & Company, New York NY." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Interesting hairdos. No idea what the orb signifies. Would be cool to see a more detailed image. Have you seen it anywhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Not enough detail in the posted pics to make it out, but if it's a marble could it be from the 'Eye of Providence' run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I see how it might be inspired by the eye of Provenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
