Looks more like the shape of an eyelash.

Thanks for the responses. Robert I think you may be on to something with the eyelash.

A hair or a sliver of paper.

Anatomically the curved gap means different things to different people.

I found a "fuzzy" picture with a similar ink-gap in a very close proximity. Here is the link and what I see.

On the left of the picture I transposed the position of this "mark" compared to yours. Close but not exact. I will keep looking.

If you have a more detailed scan of your card I would be happy to investigate more.

I would venture to say that this "curved gap" printing phenomena is unique to the Killian (portrait) card.

I went thru my T206 Piedmont set (519 different cards). Plus, an additional assortment of 112 Piedmont
cards (from the three Series) and no such printer's gap is evident on any of these cards.

Incidently, my Killian does not have it.

Scot, here's a group of Killians with the same mark, I would guess that it
was likely a flaw on the plate.
