Default T206 Walsh - Blue Old Mill distant cousin (lol)

Picked up this Old Mill Walsh recently. Been eyeing it lately and the front looked very familiar. This front/back combo seems to be tough - so figured why not. Dug a little deeper and the flaws on the front match the flaws on the infamous "Blue" Old Mill Walsh. The broken border, the red dot on forehead, and the blue ink dot on the "I" in 'Chicago."

This is a black Old Mill for sure (though using the digital microscope, there seemed to be faint traces of dark blue smudges here and there, but nothing even close to the Blue Walsh/Powell/Eberfeld.)

Just an interesting front on this black Old Mill back.
