What does it say on the reverse side? The photo isn't clear enough, and when enlarged is still not readable. Thanks.

Me too...I can not make it out either. Can you get a closer pic, or can you tell us what it says??

Thanks for the added photo. From what I have seen on the web, this could date to the 1930s/1940s. There might have been a set of four at one time: King. Queen, Jack and The Joker. Not possible to track down the mark unless someone here recognizes it. Nothing comes up in an Image search.
