Default T206/T215 Help Please

Posted By: David Smith

OK, since I am not an expert, I can only say/add the following;

1) Captions on T206, T213 Type 1 and T215 Red Cross Type 1 all come with brown/sepia printing on the front.

So, based on that, I can see how somebody could have skinned a/some Red Cross card/s and then added the backs to other cards.

As Ted Z says, the Dougherty card looks like it might have a Piedmont back underneath the Red Cross back.

The problem I am having, however, is with the Schulte card. Underneath the Red Cross back is the brown or black printing of a different company, maybe a Cycle or Coupon back. However, based on the designs at each corner, it can NOT be a Cycle or Coupon Type 1 card.

If it is not a Coupon Type 1 card, then it COULD be a Coupon Type 2 or 3 but THEN the captions on the FRONT of the card would be in blue, as would a Red Cross Type 2 card.

So, the Schulte card, on the front, LOOKS like a T206, T213 Type 1 or a T215 Type 1 but the back looks like a Coupon Type 2 or Type 3 with the Red Cross back over top of that.
