Great observation Ted. It will be interesting to see an A-B comparison of a scan of the Walsh with a regular Old Mill.

nice catch, Ted...if only more of us had boxes of t206's all over the house!!!!!!

The plot thickens!

My initial thought about the Walsh, Blue Old Mill card was that it had larger borders on the card, much like the Lundgren reprint above.

Crude comparison, but the print is spot on when overlaid.

Ok then...how much for this beauty? Bidding starts at 30k!!

After seeing Ted's old reprint I am at least having a bit of a pause with that new Blue Old Mill in the holder.....and I have been a believer in it being real.

The blue Walsh seems to line up better with the black Old Mill than the reprint that Ted has.

Maybe I'm not seeing what you're seeing. The real OM and the blue Walsh OM aren't lined up in the photo posted. The real OM is larger and the tops and bottoms of the cards are not at equal points. The back printing is lined up, but the tops and bottoms of the cards are not.

Edited to add the top borders of the real card and reprint are aligned in Ted's photo, but not the Walsh photo.
