Hi Sean
The Joe Doyle card was printed with seven T-brand backs, this "printer's mark" appears with 4 of them. Here's my old survey from 5 years ago
with 282 unique samples.
I am still searching for my more recent Joe Doyle survey (300+ samples) which indicates approx. 6 % of these cards with this "printer's mark".
Printer's Mark....................l.... (remnant of
"N" in

Old Mill..................1.............7
Sovereign 350.........0...........14
Tolstoi....................0.............5
EPDG.....................0.............1
Unknown back.........0.............2

Totals................. 21 ........ 261
Joe Doyle cards with this printer's mark =
21/282 = 7.4 %
If anyone on this forum has not previously reported their Joe Doyle card with (or without) this printer's mark,
your input to this survey would be really appreciated.
And, please identify the T-brand back of your card.
Thanks,
