If that is the case, then I agree that it went for all of the money.
It is very hard for me to tell if I do not have it in hand. The size of the mount is listed as 4-1/4" x 6-1/2" which is right on for a 19th century cabinet mount. Also, the corners looked as though they are rounded by the manufacturing process consistent to cabinet cards.
The color of the mount threw me off a little bit and the dot printing at the top and left borders is also peculiar.
