Living in modern Arizona today it's hard to imagine we actually
live in the real Old West !

Names like: Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, Tombstone,
Stage Coach Pass, Lost Dutchman Mine, Vulture
Mine, Yuma Prison, Nogales, Rio Rico, Fort Apache,
Superstition Mountains, Geronimo, Grand Canyon,
Navajo, Hopi, Zuni, Mohave, Coconino, Hualapa,
Yavapai, Gunsight, Bisbee, Boot Hill, Skull Valley, and
Crown King are just a few names that come to my mind.

Shami Maxwell immigrated from Ireland to the U.S. in 1979. At
heart he was already a cowboy having become infatuated with
America's Old West while watching 1950's-era Western movies.
For some reason, Shami was always drawn to the gambling scenes,
particularly Faro.


Faro Game, the most popular card game in the Old West .

Since his youth Shami had collected playing cards so it was a
natural progression for him in 1987 to establish Parnell Playing
Card Company. Shami patterned many of his custom edition decks
after those of the 19th Century. In 1990 Hollywood came calling,
asking for cards similar to the ones used in the 1920's and 30's.

Before long Shami was also supplying playing cards and Faro
equipment for western movies such as Wild Bill, Ride with the
Devil, American Outlaws, Shanghai Noon, Gangs of New York,
and Monte Walsh.


Assorted Old West Playing Cards

Visit Shami's web site to order your Old West style playing
cards and Faro Games and while there take time to surf a few of
his great Old West theme links.

It is with great pleasure that Shami Maxwell, Owner of the
Parnell Playing Card Company, will be my Special Guest.

Please plan on joining us to socialize and meet new friends!
