Brown Old Mill
Sean,
I was actually thinking about how the Brown Old Mills would now be viewed since the “Lucky 7” find was announced. I was looking at it from a rarity point of view though. I was hoping that the T206Resource website would make some sort of reference to the “Lucky 7” find and change the T206 rarity list accordingly.
As far as pricing goes I think only time will tell if there is any impact. The last example at auction went for 24K. Possibly the “Lucky 7” find might bring more attention to T206 backs in general. If more high end collectors become interested in completing a full T206 back run then the demand will increase for Brown Old Mills. Note: This assumes these collectors consider a printer scrap as a unique back.
Johnny if we use your logic and remove the Ty Cobb back and the Brown Old Mill back from the rarity list the Brown Lenox would be at the top of the list. BL460’s are very rare, but there appears to be fewer known Brown Lenox examples at this point in time.
Thanks,
Jerry
