T206 sheets: Huge factory numbers at back bottom

[tedzan]

The T206 cards....as well as the T3, T201, T202, T205, T209, T210, T211, T213, T214 and T215 cards were all printed by the
American Lithographic Co. in New York City. This 13-story building stands at the corner of 19th Street & Park Avenue South.




The OBAK (T212) cards were printed by the Schmidt Lithographic Co. in San Francisco. The building stands at 2nd & Bryant Steets.
When you are visiting in San Fran, be sure to check-out the Schmidt Litho. museum.

Tis a real shame that American Litho. never archived their beautiful stuff in the form of a museum.

Ted, Tim & Clayton,

Thank you for your comments. Its just a theory of mine, but it sure makes for great discussion.

Scott,

Congrats on getting both of the Johnsons!

I only really want one, but this second was too much of an upgrade to pass up.

It's certainly available for trade, as I'm no hoarder

I always like seeing this picture, thanks for showing that.

I was wondering if it was possible that, even though these lithographic companies were on the opposite sides of the country from each other, could their presses have been manufactured by the same company?

I'm not saying they were, just wondering about it. Does anyone know? Thanks-

Sincerely, Clayton

Sheet edge print mark.

Interesting Chris Who's on the front?

Updated the image Pat, Johnny V also had a Rhoades with a similar marking.

I'm happy to add this Tannehill with a partial sheet number on the bottom
to my collection.

Interesting that all three tannehills in this thread Johnny's, Brians and
mine all have the same print flaw on the top border and Brians and mine
( I think Johnny's also but hard to tell for sure) have the same light grey
spot behind his cap.

How about 17 X 24 = 408 card sheets? That makes for:

A. A total of 34 Brown Hindu southern leaguer subjects split among two different sheets (17 different subjects running horizontally with 24 copies of each subject running vertically per sheet).

B. A total of 34 Sweet Cap 150/649 subjects split among two different sheets (17 different subjects running horizontally with 24 copies of each subject running vertically per sheet).

C. A total of 48 Old Mill southern leaguers split among two different sheets (a hodgepodge of 24 different subjects running horizontally/vertically on each sheet such that each sheet includes 17 copies of each subject).

Just spitballin'.
