This refill set (10 cards) is for "Astor Mental" ...
and is made by Astor.
The cards
are identical size and thickness to the original cards,
and work quite well. They're delivered
in a plastic leather-like
card pouch (#1)
On my Astor Mental, the original cards had
Bicycle Rider backs.
The replacement cards have a diagonal crosshatch pattern.
Upon some
reflection, I think I slightly prefer the new pattern
over the original back design.
I
needed replacements because after some years, the original cards had yellowed slightly ... leaving a
band of unyellowed area in the middle. This is because I kept the cards in the device, and
apparently more light reached it in storage than I thought did.

1. I recommend
keeping them in the pouch when not,
to avoid having them yellow.
