mark macraeI checked my set of color Contentneas. 15 of the 16 have the handstamp (Lane does not). I've owned a few hundred of the Type 1's and recall that a high percentage of the cards that I've seen have the overstamp, although in many cases it is a very light impression. There is certainly a higher percentage of T-209-1's found with the stamp in comparison to the T-212 Obaks with the two digit stamp on the back. I agree that they were most likely done at the factory. The Type 2 Contentneas have the factory designation incorporated into the typesetting. I do have an empty Contentnea pack, which is also from Factory 12. Leon, nice printer's scrap cards. I have 3 more from most likely the same sheet.
