Rediscover one of Bicycle’s earliest and most intricate designs with the Bicycle AutoBike No. 1 Metallic Foil decks, where history meets elegance in a stunning revival of an American classic. Originally printed from 1902 to 1906 by the Russell & Morgan Printing Company, the Autobike No. 1 design celebrated the dawn of modern invention—and it’s now restored with contemporary craftsmanship and luxury metallic detailing.
This foil tuck box edition elevates the original 1900s design with brilliant metallic embossing and intricate linework, paying homage to the artistry of early Bicycle decks that symbolized freedom, travel, and innovation in the age of the bicycle. The backside of each card features a meticulously redrawn version of the original mirrored “AutoBike” pattern, framing the signature vintage bicycle motif with ornate scrollwork and floral filigree.
Each deck includes classic retro-style faces with deep, rich colors reminiscent of pre-war printing inks—muted yellows, deep blues, and elegant reds—giving a historic texture to every hand. Court cards and pips have been redesigned using archival references to replicate turn-of-the-century playing card styles, while the Ace of Spades proudly displays the “AutoBike No. 1” logo in period typography beneath a finely engraved spade emblem.
Printed on premium Bicycle cardstock with Air-Cushion® Finish, these decks ensure smooth shuffling, balanced fanning, and the performance quality that magicians and collectors expect from the United States Playing Card Company. Available in heritage red or deep metallic blue, each edition captures a piece of Bicycle’s early design legacy now enhanced with modern precision printing.
