Toy Club Playing Cards made in Australia
c. 1960Overview
These charming miniature playing cards by Toy Club come in their original paper box, featuring bold red print and a simple, nostalgic design. Measuring just 45mm x 30mm, each card showcases a traditional suit on one side and a delicate flower motif on the reverse.
Produced in Australia, likely during the mid-20th century, these tiny cards were intended as a novelty toy — ideal for children’s games, party favours, or doll play. While little is known about the Toy Club brand today, sets like this reflect a time when small, affordable items brought big joy.
A rare and sweet example of locally made toy ephemera.
