Figure 1.-- Almost all of the pinked cabinet cards we have found are American. Here is an 1889 card we have found from Springfield Missouri. In this case the date is actually printed on the card. |

So far all the examples we have found of these serrated / pinked edges are American cabinet cards. This may reflected our larger archive of American cards. We do not yet know if these cards were popular in Europe or if the date range was the same as in America. A German reader tells us, "I think these serrated mounts are an U.S. thing. I have none of them in my collection of German and other European cabinet cards. I might have one, but can't find it right now." We continue to moinitor this, but we are still finding mostly American examples. We have only archived dated examples, but these pinked cards were much more popular in America than the few dated examples we have archived here.
