These cards can be tricky to collect because, as you can see, the cards will have the same central image but will have different fancy designs surrounding it.

LOOKING CARDS
I have no idea how many cards are in this set.
CARDS FOUND IN BROWN CARRIAGE VEHICLE
At first glance you would think that collecting these cards would be easy-WRONG. The backs of these cards all say there are 10 cards to the set. BUT there is apparently more than one set of each type so I will just put the same types together and see how many I come up with. There are obviously more than 10 images so they probably mixed them into different sets of 10. These cards are published by Feicke-Desch with a smooth shiny surface. Some cards will only have the double flying eagles on the back. The 13th image shows the back of this set.

It is my guess that Norwood Souvenir published these cards first and then when Feicke-Desch bought them out they put their own name on them. They then issued the above set later. The backs of the Norwood cards are printed in red while the Feicke-Desch cards are black. The cards have both rough and smooth surfaces and have a sharper image then the ones above.
