| Comments: |
This card comprises a woven silk cushion on which is fastened a small printed card, and to the back of the cushion, a larger printed card. It is attached to the box with a silk thread. On the inside of the box lid is printed the Thomas Stevens logo.
The front card has printed " T.S. " initials which define it as being of Thomas Stevens manufacture, and the printed number 605. At one time it was assumed the printed number on the card defined the card design. However, these numbers are repeated on multiple different designs, so the relevance of the number is unknown (unless perhaps it is a short hand for the artist/designer, rather than the design, for such as royalty payments).
