Wow Bob and Ron - thank you for all of that info!
It seems that the horizontal threads were woven together at an angle given the miscut appearance of the Marquard silk - though others look like they are perpendicular to the sides so maybe the construction was variable?
Thanks for the compliments on the Marquard as well. I am trying to get a HOFer (where possible) from all cards - or in this case "cards" - that were/could have been issued in New Orleans. Given what you are telling me, and what I read before my purchase, I feel pretty lucky to have found such a nice one for my collection.
