Hi Eric,
The two that were unconfirmed until very recently were Dorgan and Esterbrook. If you look at the phenomenal Old Judge book by Jay Miller, Richard Masson, and Joe Gonsowski, although they were able to depict over 2500 different N172 Old Judges including many one-of-a-kind cards, they were not able to find images or confirm the existence of the Dorgan and Esterbrook.
I remember when they came on here before that book was published and asked if anyone had one or a lead to where to get an image, but nothing came of it. This all lead many to conclude that Dorgan and Esterbrook must had been miscataloged long ago on the presumption that all the New York Giants were included in the set since they were all included in the corresponding Joseph Wood cabinet photos from which the N167 images are based.
Alas, they were not miscataloged.
