The Jugenstil ornamented aces.
STANDARD FACTORY ACES
There are non-ornamented, Jugendstil-ornamented and 6 sets of scenic aces. All can be found with more than one kind of deck. These 5 sets scenic aces are: 1/ with views of Amsterdam, 2/ with views of Dutch cities, 3/ with views of international cities, 4/ with views of the (former) Dutch East Indies (nrs 3 and 4 both have a coloured and a b/w version), 5/ with views of Paris and Fontainebleau, 6/ with international views (Cairo Sphinx a.o).
Here are a few examples of standard aces that are not shown with any of the older nonstandard decks, that are on expo in other sections. The first 4 can be found with Neerlandia decks (SN01, SN10 or SN12).

All the special aces on expo here were made to accompany the non-standard decks (SN01 etc.) or standard decks like SN-S02 (Anglo-American pattern) or later SN-S03 (id.) and SN-S06 (Rhineland pattern). |

THE DOORS |
This set of aces has never been in production. Both are designs that obviously made it to a test run, but never got further than that for unknown reasons. The design above was made by Dick Hart, who also designed the Anglo-American pattern for SN-S03. The shown backside also never made it past the test run.
