The great Wm. Heart FARO lobby card I did win ....

I was certain not to be outbid on this lobby card. It went for $153. From a silent 1920's William Hart western. The guy on the left (dealer/banker) has the chip rack and special faro cards dealing box near him. The player to the right is probably covering up the faro "case keeper." The all important faro layout (where the bets [stacks of chips] are placed) is shown in the center, where Wm. Hart is standing, menacingly. He doesn't look like a happy camper.

Here is a nice link to a history and rules of Faro:
