Default E107 questions and scan requests

I have questions about this set that I do not believe have been answered fully and have not been addressed here recently. I do not collect them, but am compiling scans and also trying to learn. Please comment on the following, and apologies if I missed where this was resolved previously.

1. Has any other distributor/issuer of E107 emerged besides Breisch, Williams?
2. Is it a fair assessment that fewer than 5% of E107s bear the Breisch,Williams stamp?
3. Any theories on why the company used a basic if not crude stamp for advertising when it had issued nicely printed non-sports cards in the surrounding years?

I also would appreciate a scan of a clear, nice-sized, overprint back for a gallery I am compiling, along with scans of 8 team variations and Charlie Jones. I have a blurry scan of Jones but am holding out for a better one. The team variations are Anderson (NY); Dillon (Det); Doyle (NY); Elberfeld (Pha.?); Lee (Pitt); Lush (Cle); Powell (NY), and Thoney (NY).

If you would like a peek at the gallery–try this link and use password net54 if needed:

As you can see, a couple of the cards are pretty rough. If you have a better one and can spare a nice scan, I would be grateful. In many ways the size and quality of the scan is more important than the card it shows. Any help appreciated.
