As the cards could be collected over a long period of time, the cards inside each album can not be used for dating a specific album. The five albums that I am aware of, can be placed in a logical sequence though, based on name and population figures. | ||

Population figures are identical to albums 2, 3 and 4, but lower as in album 5. The population figures listed correspond to figures in Wikipedia from around 1900, just before the album was supposedly published (1903-1905). | ||
The section for the cards is printed in green, with a vertical leaf-based decoration between the cards and single borders around the cards. | The section for the cards is printed in green, with a vertical leaf-based decoration between the cards and single borders around the cards. | ||

The index is in green, but the content and population figures are identical to album 1,3 and 4, with only minor differences in the text. The cover states Wappen-Album, the index already Wappen-Sammel-Album, hence this album is listed as second. | ||

The index is in green, with a smaller typeface as in albums 1,2,4 and 5. The population figures are identical to album 1 and 2, but there are some small textual differences. For example : the Sandwich Islands are 'als Königr. Hawai gen." (meaning: known as the kingdom of Hawai) in album 1, 'als Königr. Hawai genannt" in album 2 and 4 and 'als Köningreich Hawai genannt" in album 3 and 5. As it has the same name and design as album 4, it is of a later date as the previous 2 albums and thus listed as album 3. | ||
