My apologies.

The designs found were from the late 1930's-early 1940's.
That clearly disproves your idea that this was a disco-inspired design from the 1970's as you stated several times:
- Post 217 "I also handled the cards with concern about the design which looked like, in my opinion, something influenced by the disco era"
- Post 245 "and the one on the back of the "1921" still looks like the design of a disco floor or even some coffee tables from the 1970's"
- Post 255 "Well, Cher was big in the 1970's and the design on the back of the "1921" Herpolsheimer's would have fit in well as a floor design for her performances".
It
does not disprove the idea the design could have existed in 1921.
The sample book of borders has a design used by Holsum Bread in 1921. That does not mean the Holsum Bread cards are fake.
Let me put it this way. Say I discovered a magazine article from 1940 about airplanes. That would disprove that airplanes originated in the 1970's. But it would not mean airplanes did not exist in 1921.
