Interesting you have so many high numbers. I think mine are mostly lower. Very little overlap. This is a list I had done a while back - there are probably a few additions:

T.O. 1000/1 – Merchants Bank, Winnipeg, Man. (p/u 1911-08-15; 1912-01-24; unused) (3*)
T.O. 1000/3 – Typical Street View, Winnipeg, Man. (looking S from the W side of Main & McDermot)

T.O. 1000/14 – Broadway, Winnipeg, Man. (looking W from Main, p/u 1912-02-09; 1913-01-30) (2*)
T.O. 1000/17 – Main Street, Winnipeg, Man., Exhibition Week (looking N from Portage & Main, p/u 1912-06-09)
T.O. 1000/18 – Crescent Wood, Winnipeg, Man. (somewhere on Wellington Cres.)
T.O. 1000/21 – Portage Ave, Winnipeg, Man. (looking W from P&M, p/u 1911-11-29)
T.O. 1000/23 – C.P.R. Station and Hotel, Winnipeg, Man. (looking at the station and hotel from SE, p/u 1911-10-26)

Nice! I've been on the lookout for your famous 33!

Just checked my Pugh drawer -- since I made the list, I've acquired two others:

2 - Old Fort Garry and Buffalo Bill, 1910.
13 - View in Wholesale District, Winnipeg, Man.

Is your "18" a typo on the number or are we looking at a De Nobele multiple-cards-with-the-same-number situation?

It looks as though, between us, we can account for about 26 of what is likely a 48 or 50 card series.

#18 - It was a wrong entry on my collection data base. Sorry. (But thanks for catching it.) The correct number is 16. It is Portage Ave. (Looking east from Hargrave.)

It's amazing how much collecting we (collectively) have done and still fully half of this set hasn't turned up!!!

Yep, A lot of what I enjoy about this hobby/obsession is the seemingly infinite possibility for encountering the unexpected. And, perhaps, the high likelihood of never encountering the expected.
