Allen & Ginter created two smaller sized flag sets--N9 and N10. The very popular cards were apparently used for advertising window cards or point-of-sale pieces in an oversized format, measuring about 5x8 inches. Printed on very thick beveled cardboard mounts, these can be found for a number of countries with either blank backs or a preprinted advertising featuring the A&G Planter character in the middle of the back. The pre-printed backs are very scarce. This particular cabinet features Chili--now known as Chile. While technically VGEX to EX, the cabinet is in fantastic condition with a blank back and is a scarce piece likely from the late 1880's.
