What does it measure?

Mark - I can email you exact measurements this evening, but it measures at the shorter end of untrimmed sizes for M116s. I had a Mathewson M116 that was untrimmed that measured about the same.

Mark - you didn't leave your email - it measures a little over 2 1/2" (maybe 2 17/32 if my ruled had 32nds) tall and 1.5" wide.

M116 should measure 1 1/2 X 2 5/8 (as you probably know), best thing to check it with is a digital caliper. They are pretty cheap to buy and give you .0001 of an inch so you can measure more accurately.

If it would measure 2.620 then you are ok but it seems like its off .100 which would validate your assumption of it being trim would be correct.

Nice card in any event....

Mark - as you know the M116 vary greatly in size (I think the SCD actually says they vary more then other period issues). As I mentioned, I owned an M116 Matty that measured almost the same (it was 2.5" exact) that had been in a scrapbook for 90+ years and was certainly not trimmed (and graded as such).
