Thus,you actually have a card for each ofthose three, with those words on them!It is also missing the eight picture cards,& some of the single-letter cards, word-ending cards, and punctuation cards.However, the box lid does not specifyan amount for those additional cards,that are not word cards. So, we can notbe absolutely certain as to how manyof each of these there were. This box isnearly full, so I would assume that it isa nearly complete set. Also, keeping inmind that it is very rare to find such abeautiful set as this, in such excellentvintage condition, and, (as it appears),so very close to being a full completeset of vintage word flash cards!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Please note, that under the box lidis a list of word cards to this set. Theyonly go up to 173. However, there areasterisk's next to many of them, ofwhich indicate that there are morethan one of that particular word.Thus, explaining why there are morecards in this set that what the numberactually reads under the box lid.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Circa, 1960'sSCOTT FORESMAN AND COMPANYFor use with:The DICK AND JANE BasicReaders Series of vintage schoolpre-primers and primers books!The card numbers and words match upexactly with the numbers and words thatare in the 1960's Dick and Jane Pre-Primerand Primer Basic readers, as well as theguide book for those readers!
