I have always thought the "single" upside down overprint was an accident by the printers that wasnt caught. And the "double" overprint was when the printers again accidently put the sheet in upside down and when they saw the goof they did it again the right way. |

no way were these overprints intended to be on an Old Mill back. Wrong color to start with, upside down, and the bar isn't even long enough to overprint the original factory designation on the cards. |

Based on the few old mill examples I have seen there appears to be 2 distinct patterns relative to the overprint bar color and the old mill back itself. In particular, the black overprint bars seem to only come with a black old mill back. On the other hand the red overprint bars (1 or 2) appear to come with only a brown old mill back. Based on this observation I'm not so convinced that these printings were unintentional. Why would the printer go through the trouble of changing the overprint bar color if it was a one time freak printing? There are no other overprint bars in T206 that make use of the black color. If these overprints all had red bars I could buy the theory that the bar was intended for a different back/sheet and was printed by mistake. As I mentioned before why would the printer go through the trouble of matching the black overprint bar to a black old mill back. |

Is there actually a black overprint? I may be wrong, but I think the one that looks black (card on the left) is actually a B&W picture of a red overprint card. The overprint is exactly the same in size, fac/dist # etc. as the red one. Does anyone have a clear color picture of a black overprint OM back? |

How many of these red overprints are known? I've handled countless T206 but never even saw one of these until this thread started. They are really striking. |
