Default Kleinow (Boston) + Smith (Chicago & Boston) Back Survey

Posted By: Scot Reader


These two somewhat scarce T206 subjects seem to turn up disproportionately with the Polar Bear back. The only Kleinow (Boston) I ever owned had this back. So time for another T206 survey! What back do your Kleinow (Boston) and Smith (Chicago & Boston) have? Polar Bear--or something else?

My Smith, AmBty 460 and Cycle 460 are, at best, Vg and they are "naked" cards, so I don't really think
these two would get big $$'s on ebay. Besides, tough cards like these, will remain in my collection.

I do appreciate your compliments.

Posted By: Scot Reader


Thanks for the responses so far. Here is the tally (excluding factory designations):

Kleinow:

Polar Bear = 8/21 = 38%
Piedmont = 4/21 = 19%
Sweet Cap = 7/21 = 33%
Old Mill = 1/21 = 5%
Broad Leaf = 1/21 = 5%

Smith:

Polar Bear = 6/22 = 27%
Piedmont = 8/22 = 36%
Sweet Cap = 4/22 = 18%
Old Mill = 2/22 = 9%
American Beauty = 1/22 = 5%
Cycle = 1/22 = 5%

It's pretty clear these subjects are overrepresented with Polar Bear relative to typical 350/460 RP and 460-only subjects. Keep the responses coming!

hmmm, definitely a pattern developing...

the majority of these 2 cards do have Polar Bear backs.

can we draw any parallels between these 2 cards and demmitt & o'hara?

Posted By: Scot Reader


Michael,

We know that Kleinow (Boston) and Smith (Both) were printed near the end of the 350/460 RP print run (for more information on this see my post on the recent thread on Demmitt and O'Hara started by Ted Z.). And it seems from this survey, at least preliminarily, that these two subjects are overrepresented with Polar Bear and Piedmont Factory 42 backs. This suggests a possible sequential printing of the 350/460 RP series in which at least the lion's share of the Polar Bear and Piedmont Factory 42 backed cards were printed near the end. Note that this is consistent with Factory 42 being a later factory; there are no Factory 42 backs the 150-only, 150/350 or 350-only series.

Any connection between the overrepresentation of these subjects with Polar Bear and Demmitt and O'Hara (St. Louis) is not clear to me; although it is very interesting that all four of these "team change" subjects were printed disproportionately (in the case of Kleinow and Smith) or solely (in the case of Demmitt and O'Hara) with that back.

Scot

Thanks for the additinal input. Brian, since Lenox is far more often seen on traditional 460-only subjects than 350/460 RP subjects and since Kleinow is not a traditional 460-only subject but rather a 350/460 RP subject in disguise (that is, experienced the 460 portion of the 350/460 RP print run), I strongly suspect that your Kleinow Lenox is unique.

These two cards been confirmed with a dozen different backs....10 of which are

Where they differ are......

Kleinow........Broad Leaf 460, Lenox, and Red HINDU

F Smith........American Beauty 460 and UZIT

Does anyone know if they are available with any other backs ?
