Note that although the cards are unnumbered, they do correspond with numbers 6-10 of the W515-1 set, which suggests they were properly placed on a strip that followed the same printing scheme. Still, the "Made in Germany" statement seems almost conveniently placed to me.

Thanks Todd for your thoughts. Once I saw this strip, I too thought that stylistically they reminded me of the German transfers, which I had not quite made the connection before. The red ink 'Made in Germany' catches the eye in the wrong way, but the transfers have always seemed a little off compared to other issues of the period...they just look different. At least this strip makes me want to move my Adams to the outskirts of my regular collection, after residing for years in the reprint rubble pile.
