Of the very few postmarked examples online, many of which were from 1908-1910 all were of the small text variety. None, were postmarked 1907, but the large text certainly is scarcer and was not used past 1907. I still suspect they were from the first run and the Cobb Fielding was issued at the end of the season, not first, which is why it is the scarcer pose, but not the earliest of the Dietsche Cobbs issued.
