Bridwell
The Bridwell card gives us some indication of when the 1916 card was printed, and explains the Nashville affiliation. I researched his 1916 status and saw that he was signed by Nashville as of the February 12, 1916 edition of The Sporting Life. 
It was also noted in the April 1, edition. Interestingly, Bridwell was listed as suspended by Nashville as of April 17, 1916 (perhaps he never reported?) as mentioned in the May 6 TSL, so that may explain why there is no record of him actually playing for the team. On May 14, 1916, he was acquired by Atlanta.
So it seems the printing of the 1916 t213-2 set would have been finished somewhere between February 6 and mid-May of that year.
