Barry, what a great find! Based on the 3 previous partial sets I'd seen, plus this one, I'm guessing that probably a set for each player was created, plus one for the cabinet that yours was used to create.

I thought it would be fun to write additional articles about obscure old-time players, but probably only to me! Here's a pic of the McVey cdv I had:
