Don, I agree with Leon. I'm 99.9% sure that your super nice Sisler card is a W501-2. Hopefully, you will have it in your display at the upcoming Net54 get together in No. VA.
I also agree with Leon in that I believe that all "true" W575-1 cards are machine cut on all 4 sides. And, I believe that W501-1 and W501-2 cards are all machine cut on both the right and left sides, but that either the top side or the bottom side or both are hand cut. Hence, I believe W501-1 and W501-2 cards were issued in vertical strips, but I suspect the strips were short because a good percentage of those that I've seen appeared to have a machine-cut top or bottom.
