The original Dutch company finally was bought by the Sopla company from Amersfoort in 1923. The company also moved to Amersfoort.

The Oldenkott tobacco company in Amsterdam started | The Oldenkott tobacco company in Amsterdam started to issue small 5x3 cm thick cards with the arms of major Dutch towns. The cards could be collected in a small album. It is not sure when the album was issued, but in 1907 people were exchanging the cards (advertising in newspapers). The prices on the backs of the cards correspond with prices in newspaper advertisements from 1900-1903, indicating a starting time in that time frame. | ||
As the action was a success, more series were issued, and finally 10 albums and nearly 900 arms were issued. Not only town arms, but all registered arms at the time, which included arms of provinces, estates (heerlijkheden), water boards (waterschappen), religious arms and the arms of Utrecht University. | As the action was a success, more series were issued, and finally 10 albums and nearly 900 arms were issued.

The albums were not made with great geographical care. Many names of towns and provinces are spelled wrongly. The IJssel river(s) are spelled in different albums as : Yssel, IJsel, IJssel and in the provincial name on the cover of Album 9 as Overijzel... | |||
The | The worst names are Wijbutselaradeel (correct:Wijmbritseradeel) and Terverderadeel (correct:Ferwerderadeel).... | ||
Later the company also issued albums with international arms. Of these I only know about the [[Oldenkott (Switzerland)|Swiss]] album, but others may have been issued as well. Besides these, both the Dutch and the German companies issued albums on other topics. | |||
====Backs and misprints==== | |||
There are several variations of the Dutch cards, not in picture, but in the text on the back of the cards. As usual with tobacco and advertising cards, some advertising was printed on the back of the cards. For the Oldenkott cards, especially numbers 1-90 from the first series, 5 different versions exist; two Dutch versions in blue (difference is the price of the cigarettes 'á 60' or 'á 70'), one in black and one version in French (?!). The last series (Slotalbum) was issued with a different advertising text, see images below. | |||
