Comments:
The four cards above each have the printed " T.S. " initials which defines them as being of Stevens manufacture.
The front card has a short silk tab so the card can be opened out. The back card is the only one with a silk fringe.
At one time it was assumed the number printed on the card - 623 on these cards - defined the card design. However, as can be seen in the images above, these numbers are repeated on multiple different designs. The relevance of the number is hence unknown (unless perhaps it is a short hand for the artist/designer, rather than the design, for such as royalty payments).
