identify7Well Brian, perhaps you can help me with some information.
In my possession there are two w517s. One a Sewell is on cardstock as thin as a Cracker Jack, but exhibits toning typical of the issue. The second, an Alexander is on grey backed card stock.
Both cards are sepia and exhibit a dot matrix consistent with pre-war issues (ie. brown dots). I do not currently consider these examples regular issue cards, but perhaps advertising display cut outs. But I do not know.
Have you encountered variations in the stock on which these cards were printed?
