The following playing cards are mysterious. The manufacturer's information is "M.F.MISCHKA". The cards known to have been made by Martin Mischka always say "M.MISCHKA" - he had no middle name. Cards with the information "F.MISCHKA" are unknown - Franz's middle name is Josef. It is possible that father and son ran the factory together for a while and printed the abbreviation of both first names on the cards.
