I've never been lucky enought to own an Allegheny (sp), but most early playing cards and game cards (Fan Crazy, 1913 National Game, etc) were made with photoengraving. If you examine the printing under a 30X or better microscope, the edge of the ink will have a dark, hard, mechanical rim all the way around. Much more distinct and solid than on the pictures of the T206s (lithograph) I have had my my newsletter. If you can see this distinct quality, this does not prove a particular date (1903 versus 1907), but does show that the item is old. This is because photoengraving has not been commercially used for several decades. |
