How do we know they were produced in 1922 and not 1921-22 like the W575's?

When I bought this G Kelly card it is mis-labeled W575 (clearly says Witmor Candy on the back).

Thanks,

Dan, to answer your questions...

-we assume there are 80 because it says so n back--there may in fact be more than 80 as there were at least 3 different printings of this set (much like the E121 series of 80's multiple printings)

-They are a 1921 issue and are simultaneous with the E121 Series of 80 cards based on the way the positions are written on front (unlike the 1922 E121 Series of 120 set)

-I'm not going to delve too far into the W575-1 issue as that will be addressed more fully in an article I have written and submitted to Lyman for inclusion in a future Old Cardboard article.
