'''Series information :'''
*Date of issue : 1910s ? (approx.)

===Series===
This is a large series of trade cards, showing the arms and flags of countries. The series is not dated, but based on the images on the cards, as well as the names of countries, can be dated as <1918. The series was printed in Holland, but the printer, nor the designer is known.
 
As trade cards the series was issued by a number of Dutch companies :
::[[Arms and Flags (Honig)|Honig]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Kraepelien)|Kraepelien & Holm]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Meijer)|Erven Joh. W. Meyer]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Neelmeijer)|Neelmeijer]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Smith)|Smith]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Van Dijk)|Van Dijk]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Paul Kaiser)|Paul Kaiser]]
Some of the series are numbered and all numbered series indicate that 72 cards were issued.
 
As tobacco cards the series was issued by [[Arms and Flags (James)|James]] in the UK.
 
As postcards the series was issued by [[EFA Postcards|EFA]] (the Excelsior Fine Art Company) for the UK market and by the Dutch firm [[Arms and Flags (Spit & De Vletter)|Spit & De Vletter]] as appointment cards.
 
==Company==
Van Dijk's was a company based in Haarlem (Schoten), the Netherlands, producing 'beschuit', a type of Dutch toast. I have no furter information on the company.
         
==Cards==
For all known cards see [http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Category:Van_Dijks here].
 
Unlike the series issued by the other companies, there is no text on the reverse.
