![B843-100 : B148-2 : USA 281 [tobacco : OS : USA] D. Buchner & Co. "American Scenes With A policeman" (untitled set) large size 95 x 57 (1888) Un/61?](/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/2022-02/23%20buchner.jpg?itok=SlgpQTwB)
The American Card Catalog of 1967 states 60 cards of this set were known, and they were valued at 50 cents each.
The titles of cards 1-42 are listed in the American Book of Checklists, and this seems to point to forty -two cards being the known set at that time. The titles of cards 43-58 then appear in our original World Tobacco Issues Index Handbook under X2/281.
I am now intrigued at the two which turned up between those, some time about the 1950s/60s which were added to the American Card Catalog - and the other one, which has given us the 61 that appears in our latest World Tobacco Issues Index, issued in the year 2000. Will have to do some fossicking!
And many thanks to Mr. Church who scanned us this lovely card from his collection.
