T206 Old Mill and a possible odd wet sheet transfer, help??
 

Hello all,
I just got this T206 Old Mill Johnson in and was taking a good look at it. I see the wet sheet transfer on the left side and it is easy to see it is the frame line from the Old Mill frame on back.
As I looked closer, you can see a light image of some detail around his hat area (torward the back and above). It kind of looks like an inverteded Piedmont frame, but it is to ornate.
I hope the scans show what I am talking about. I have very little knowledge outside of T206's, so any thoughts on what it could be are great. ANy idea what it is, or am I seeing things!?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob

Interesting card you have there. I can see the line in the left border, but nothing in the hat area. Scanners and PC screens vary, so this isn't an issue for one person not to see the image details.

What is interesting to me is that most OM wet sheet transfers(offset transfers) that I've seen usually have letters visible along with the frame lines. I will post a couple scans to show you what I mean.

Hope this helps

Ok guys I got another one.
This is a Old Mill Lajoie Bat and it looks like it has flowers on it around same of the same spots as the Johnson, but different flowers (left side, past hat). Once again I am sorry for the scan quality, but hope you can see what I am talking about.

Any thoughts on this? Me being crazy is a valid answer!

Thanks,
Bob
