Need some help with this Old Judge Card of Silver Flint

[Golfcollector]

Another one I need some help with from a recent "find" of various vintage cards

This is an Old Judge Card of Silver Flint. I am attaching a scan I found on line from The Metropolitan Museum. The card I have has a very light registration and you can make out the shape of the buildings in the background, but not really any features.(such as the windows of the buildings or the lines in the wall behind the player) The one I have you can see the copyright written in white to the left of the player but again it is not a well pronounced image.

I wanted to ask for some expertise from here, as the version I have has the full "Silver Flint" spelled out, both in white and Silver Flint C. Chicagos - - - while most of the examples I can find on line simply say FLINT C. Chicagos for the name.

Appreciate any help, Old Judges are definitely not my strong suit in terms of knowledge. Not sure if this is something a little more rare, etc just because I have not been able to find much info on this particular name variation.

Hello Dave,

Silver Flint, pose 163-4 (the pose you posted about), can be found in just about every flavor. It was first issued in 1887, then re-issued in 1888 as both "SILVER FLINT" (Fa) and "FLINT" (Fb), and then again with both spellings in 1889 (Fc). The cabinets have his full name, just as you can see in script writing on the 1889 cards.
