Default 1910 Orange Borders debate and info

Posted By: leon

I am leaning towards this not being an Orange Border for the following reasons:

1. The most notable exception, to me, is the rounded borders.
2. The letters in his name are different than all of the other 9 shown. There are a few shading variances but nothing like the deliberate, specific shading of the Niles.
3. The border itself just doesn’t look quite right with respect to the way the red is colored on it. It doesn’t "look" like the others though I don’t care to try to pinpoint it.
4. All of the other 9 have fairly nice borders, without too much wear on them…..They might be uneven from the mandatory hand cut, but there's not much wear; and this from at least 4 different groups.
5. Even when taking the size of the scan into consideration, Niles seems to be cropped to have a larger caricature than all of the rest.

Given those thoughts I think there is a reasonable chance it’s not an Orange Border.
regards
