Piedmont 150 plate scratch(es) progress

Thanks Ed,

I really need to thank Steve B for pointing this out and starting the two
threads on the plate scratches. It is a lot of fun doing the research and
has become an obsession for me.

I'm amazed at how far this has been taken. And really glad someone has picked it up. Making any serious dent in the monster has and will take the effort of lots of people. Not just to put together the data, but even just reporting one new find.

I'm also amazed it's been taken this far so quickly. Plating stamps took the guys that did it nearly their entire collecting lifetime, and that's with known plate sizes and blocks or strips readily available.

I'm also glad Pat has been linking front flaws with particular portions of the scratches. That's the next big step since that will lead to figuring out how many were in a column. And how many different sheets there were.

This Cicotte scratch has a pink mark on the left below his belt. The plate
scratches indicate that Seymour is to the left (front) of cicotte so there
might be a small chance of finding a Seymour that is miscut left to right
with part of this mark.

Another matching pair (same sheet position).

A couple matching Waddells:

I found a Seymour with the continuation of the pink mark from Cicotte.
