Description based on Yale Center for British Art copy. The YCBA copy includes a thimble (nickel?), six twists of thread (gold, red, pale blue, pale green, purple, and pink), and six patterns, depicting a camel, wolf, elephant, bear, lion, and polar bear. The six patterns bear the publisher's initials "J.W.S. & S." Also present in the YCBA are cards of varying appearance, lacking the initials of J.W.S. & S. These cards, which may not have been issued with the set, include depictions of a donkey, cat, goose, flower pot (?), bird, and sheep.
