2 Different N172 Ansons in street clothes?
I was just looking through scans of some of my N172s and in comparing the two N172 Ansons, I noticed different script on his jacket. It is most noticeable on the "A" of Anson and the "i" and "o" in Chicago's. I'd be curious to know people's thoughts on this and if anybody else has noticed or acknowledged it before. Also, below, one says "Cigarette Factory" and one says "Cigarettes". Do folks think this is significant?
Thanks, JimB Last edited by E93; 05-26-2012 at 12:24 AM. |

The one on the left is an 1889 card; the one on the right an 1888 card. The name was written in on the glass plate negative. The name may have worn down and had to be rewritten or there may have been several copies of the negative. I have seen at least three or four different name styles. In my opinion it is nothing significant.

Found this "Cigarette Factory"example searching Goodwin Auctions. Interestingly it also has a thinner factory cut. And this one from REA with wider border and "Cigarette" variety.
REA example has no name etched on it, but rather typeset below/ JimB Last edited by E93; 05-26-2012 at 12:39 AM. |

Thanks Jay. What about the PSA 8 with no etched name at all?

Interesting there's no copyright line on the 1888 fb with no name etched... Did that happen often?

The 1889 also has a lighter photo, not uncommon for cards issued in that year. Given that these names were hand etched onto the negative, you would expect all these minor variations.

Jim-A few different name styles as shown on cabinets. They were made from the same negatives as the N172s so theoretically any of these styles could show up on the small cards:
