I'm very interested to see how the Exhibit experts here weigh in on that; nice picture- that would make for a very wide range of color between true Eastern Exhibits'.
On the other hand, The Exhibits without the company mark on the back seem to be the same shade of black. My only guess would be that the Eastern Exhibits were made like the 48-49 Leaf cards with wide variations based on how much tint was left in the machine. That said, a true B@W (which I have only seen without the Eastern back) with a standard Eastern back would be pretty definitive evidence. I would really appreciate seeing those cards when you get them back. -Frank

So those that look like the one on the right are not B&W but are instead considered a different shade of sepia? |
