Typical postcard back

Listed by the National Supply Service as No. 5458, this was sold as a boxed set of 68 cards with an original price of $2.25.  Each card features a full-length color portrait of a Scout dressed in the uniform of his native country.  Each bears the 1964 copyright of the Boy Scouts of America on the front.  The back has the imprint of the National Supply Division on the spine.  The cards were printed by Dexter Press which had popularized chrome postcards in the previous decade.  Each image number appears in the lower left corner of the back (except Nigeria).
