Default Old Judge Orotone Photo/Studio Proof "Jumbo" Davis **UPDATED**

I wanted to share my recent pick up of what appears to be an original Old Judge "Goodwin&Co NY" Orotone studio/proof of Kansas City's "Jumbo" Davis. The pose is unknown/unused ( that we know of --new discovery to the hobby) for any Old Judge series. The pose is very similar to the 119-6.

When you look at the photo, it has a gold-ish foil to it that makes it very hard to takes pictures. I had never seen that before with any studio proof/photo. I was concern it may be a modern reprint of some kind.I was later informed by an awesome boardie, that gold-foil effect might be glass photo backed in genuine gold-- giving the distinct golden tone.

The photo is snug in the custom frame holder pretty good. I'm afraid to remove the photo out of the frame to confirm this.

Size ~3 x 3.25
