Radium mager and fett on the case of a pack of playing cards, advertising the Revue brand of cigarettes by Sulima.

According to Cigabox.de, Tabak- und Cigarettenfabrik Sulima F.L. Wolff GmbH was established in Dresden, Germany, in 1871. It was acquired by Jasmatzi AG before 1914, which in turn was taken over by Reemtsma in 1925. Sulima was still doing business under that name in 1924.

The secondary typefaces, a compressed grotesk and a Romanisch-like roman, are shown with too little detail to identify them reliably.

See also this invoice from 1924 for another example of both weights of Radium used together.

The cards were produced by a division of the Vereinigte Stralsunder Spielkarten-Fabriken Act.-Ges. in Altenburg, Sachsen-Anhalt.
