Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Someone in another thread mentioned that the Tom Barker game cards were patented way back when. I thought the group might want to see the actual patent. Here is the link:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pat2pdf.org/patents/pat1056770.pdf" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.pat2pdf.org/patents/pat1056770.pdf</a><br /><br />I still don't understand how this game was played.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I got the patent number from one of the Tom Barker cards. It is printed on the back of each card. Once you have the patent number, you can go to <a href="http://www.pat2pdf.org" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.pat2pdf.org</a>. This website has pdf's of every patent, at least for the last 100 years or so. You just type in the patent number, and up pops the pdf. It's free too.
