This is probably a decade too late, as all cards have the number DRGM 209633 (Deutsche Reichs-Gebrauchsmuster), a German copyright/trademark number, which should be issued around 1903-1904 ([https://www.holzwerken.de/museum/patent/drgm_zeitlinie.gif source]), which also fits better with the population figures in the first album (which are from around 1900). | ||
*Number of stamps/cards : 480 (?). At least 420. According to the Köberich cataloge only 330 were actually issued (but I am aware of 420 so far, see below). | *Number of stamps/cards : 480 (?).

The images could be collected from a large number of small companies in Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Holland (and maybe other countries as well). These companies issued advertising cards, with two images, that could be cut out and placed in the album. Probably due to WWI the series were not completed, as, according to the cards, one card was issued weekly. With 480 cards that would mean 240 weeks, or finishing by the end of 1916 or early 1917, which probably means that they were not all issued. | The images could be collected from a large number of small companies in Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Holland (and maybe other countries as well).
