Beautiful 1888 N133 Duke State and Territorial Governors, Coats of Arms, etc. complete set of 48 cards glued onto 6 vintage album pages, probably sometime in the early 1890's. All are the triple folder version. Incredible color imagery still bright and fresh after all these years, protected by being placed inside an album. Five of the 11 1/2" by 16 3/4" pages have 9 cards per page, lined up neatly 3 rows across with the last having 3 cards. The backs have no cards. The pages are cracking and very brittle, as are most of the others from this vintage find. The vast majority of cards present in EX-MT to NM or better from the front. The fact this person had so many complete sets with so many different cards leads us to believe that the original owner possibly worked in the company that produced them. Beautiful group!
