Jumbo blank back Dickson Orde Ruth?

Anyone ever seen this version before? I bought a binder full of random vintage and these were in it. I’ve seen the smaller one with the text, but never the slightly larger one with a blank back. Anyone know anything about these?

Wish I could help. I am not familiar with them but they are neat. So scarce not too much is known? Or we aren't looking in the right places. :cool:

Thanks, Leon. I did some digging and found my answer. Turns out there is a parallel set to the British Dickson Orde set that was also produced in 1962, by A.C.W. Francis in the West Indies. These cards are sized slightly larger than their Dickson/Orde cousins. Some have a black or red ACW Francis stamp on the back, while others are blank backed. No word on scarcity, but FWIW, the Dickson Orde in my experience seems to be much more prevalent.
