Partial Set of 6 Lottery Cards, Differently Numbered, 1880

 File — Box: CFC Lottery Games Box 1
Identifier: CFC2021.0181.1.7-12
Abstract

Six of the cards in this lot actually repeat cards in the above complete set. These other six follow a different numbering system, namely two sets of continuous numbers, four consecutive numbers at the top and then, after skipping eight numbers, another continuous set of numbers across the bottom of the board. These illustrations are well colored, and the boards themselves are well preserved.

Dates: 1880

Partial Set of Lottery Cards, 1900

 File — Box: CFC Lottery Games Box 1
Identifier: CFC2021.0181.1.1-6
Abstract

The colored fable images here are exquisitely done. The number system is regular and consistent. The numbers in the upper left of each image are from 1 to 24. Those in the upper right of each image are from 25 to 48. Those in the lower left of each image are from 49 to 72. The numbers in the lower right of the first nine cards are from 73 through 90. The lower right numbers on the last three cards follow no system I can discern. Stiff board backing, slightly bowed.

Dates: 1900
