That makes a lot of sense. They printed Topps cards in similar fashion, i.e. two half sheets at once on a large master sheet. I have to suspect Zabel became Topps' printer after the Bowman acquisition but the transition took a few years I think.
ted, have you ever found much on Zabel Brothers? I spoke to Irv Lerner about them briefly at the National but there is very little on the web about the company.
