Lot of 5 different. NY directories do not list who made up Sutton & Co., but as they often shared the same address as George D.

Light wear. b) Two color cards. Smaller card for ship "Cold Stream," Greenman, Master. Gold border, blue print. This ship was built in 1866. 3 x 5.5" Some loss at corners.
