Beieren.neel.jpg

This is a large series of trade cards, showing the arms and flags of countries. The series is not dated, but based on the images on the cards, as well as the names of countries, can be dated as <1910. The series was printed in Holland, but the printer, nor the designer is known.

Series information :

  • Date of issue : 1910s ? (approx.)
  • Number of cards : 65 -72 (depending on company), some of the series are numbered and all numbered series indicate that 72 cards were issued.
  • Image variants : none, but many colour variations in the background of the design
