I've known Lew Lipset since 1981 and have great respect for his knowledge and contributions to the hobby.
Having said all that and having enjoyed some very nice vintage card deals that I have acquired from Lew, I
question his "Louisiana issue" regarding the Red Cross cards.

In my time, I have been fortunate to acquire 5 "original finds" of which only one of them did not "migrate"....
A 400+ T206 collection (all PIEDMONT) from South Carolina.

The other 4 were collections that did "migrate" are........

286 different SOVEREIGN T206's from Erie, PA

177 different SOVEREIGN T206's from Hartford, CT

122 different SOVEREIGN T206's from Georgia

200+ assorted SWEET CAPORAL (Factory 30, NY) T206's from Florida

Obviously, the SOVEREIGN's are Factory #25, VA....and, I offer these examples as an argument opposing the
T215's classified as a "Louisiana issue".....perhaps, based on one find (or two).

Your thoughts, please ?
