I remember seeing the 4 NYPL Jordan & Co. CDVs while visiting the library. I think there were 2 Sam Wright's and one each of Crossley and Hammond. All of them had the old NYPL rubber stamp mark on the back.
The one I sold at auction in 2004 was never part of the NYPL... in fact at the time it was a different pose from the ones known and was incorrectly ID'd at first. I think a similar example appeared a couple of years later.
Here's my ex-jordan in raw state prior to encapsulation. (Sorry about the watermarks)
Although the Harry and Sam Wright 'Anthony CDV' cited on the stolen material report is not unique, I remember seeing a copy at public auction that looked pretty suspicious because it had the same paper clip mark like the one from the NYPL.
I need to check those catalogs again.
