The Canasta card game comes in an original storage box and consists of two decks of 54 playing cards which include 2 Joker cards together with a Canasta rules and instructions book as well as a number of Canasta score cards. The game was made in England and is a H. P. Gibson & Sons Ltd brand product which is thought to have been produced sometime in the early 1950’s. There is some discolouration apparent to the playing cards of both decks as well as various stains and dirt marks on them with some more noticeably affected than others. There are a few playing cards of both decks which have some creases noticeable on them which are a result of some of the corners being slightly bent. There is some slight scuffing noticeable to the edges of some of the playing cards of both decks particularly when stacked together. The Canasta rules and instructions book is by Otilie H Reilly and is believed to be a sixth edition published in November 1950. The book spine is wire bound. There is varying discolouration apparent to the exterior and interior of the book and various stains, dirt and foxing marks are also apparent as well as some scuffs, creases and indentation marks. The edges of the book appear varyingly scuffed and worn with some softening and rounding to the tips of the corners which appear slightly curled. The wire along the spine of the book is tarnished and there are some rust marks also apparent on it. There are a total of forty eight Canasta score cards which are printed the same on both sides. Four of the score cards have been used and have been handwritten on with pen and pencil. The card of one score card is blue in colour and the card of the other score cards is white. There is some discolouration apparent to the score cards and some stains and dirt marks on them with some more noticeably affected than others. The edges of the score cards appear slightly scuffed and there is some slight softening and rounding apparent to the tips of the corners some of which appear slightly curled. The storage box comes with a removable lid as well as two removable inserts which each hold one of the deck of cards. The two inserts each have an opening on one side which enables the playing cards to be removed easier. There are some stains and dirt marks noticeable on the two inserts as well as some creases and indentation marks. The edges of the two inserts appear varyingly scuffed and worn. One of the sides of the storage box has been torn off and is missing. Three of the four corners on the sides of the storage box lid have split and torn apparent with the splits continuing part way along the top edges of the storage box lid with some of the split and torn edges longer than others. The underside of the storage box has various numbers handwritten on it in pencil. There is varyingly discolouration apparent to the storage box and lid as well as various stains, dirt and foxing marks on them with some more prominent and detrimental to the visual condition than others. The edges of the storage box and lid which are not split and torn appear varyingly scuffed and worn with some more visibly affected than others. There are various creases and indentation marks noticeable on the storage box and lid with some of the creasing attributable to the storage box and lid being varyingly squashed and compressed which has also caused some deformation to one side of the storage box and a depression to form in the top of the lid. The approximate size of the storage box is 143mm x 194mm x 35mm. The approximate combined weight of the storage box and contents is 485g.
