The actual release date of this set is often debated. The "most" accepted answer is that 160 cards were released in late '53, 10 more cards in '54, and the final 10 in '55.

I'll work on adding some release notes. I think there is one more variation as well. I think the maser set is 192 cards.

Edit...one more friendly note. Most of the major non-sport releases have already been added through at least '55 and probably much later (Topps, Bowman, Gum, Inc, etc.). I make it a habit to do a traditional search for the set name. Then because vintage release dates are often debateable, I "manually" check a couple years before and after what I think the release date is to make sure I don't duplicate a set. I uploaded a few duplicate sets before that sunk in ; )

Thanks Chad,

However I added it as a non-Sport entry in 1954. Guess we need to retract it?

Bob, not sure if User Comments are moderated, but that's not really the proper use of the Sets' User Comments.

I've uploaded a few duplicate sets myself.

You can submit an IR saying it is a duplicate set and it can be easily removed.

It's good to see interest in vintage non-sport. The World on Wheels set is a good one.

There is a link for the 1953 set, as cnangle pointed out but is there another set from 1954, as Bob was trying to list?

Oh, and when the set is removed, so will this forum thread.

The correct year listing for this set is '53 - '55. One set produced over a 3-year period.

Got ya. Pretty cool set though. I just read nearly every one of the backs 

Can Admin move the thread to the '53 set's forum before deleting the incorrect set?

I don't know if this particular conversation needs to be saved, but I'm curious if it can be done in general.
