Piedmont 150 plate scratch(es) progress

[Pat R]

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:

Luke, Here's the waddell scratch that's under your Waddells.

Awesome!

I finally figured out how to load an image big enough to show how scratches
on the same subjects line up in multiple places. It takes a minute to load
but when it does you can click on the image to enlarge it.

Based on the crop mark on the Oldring scratch in the bottom right this should
be part of the right hand side (left front) of a sheet that I'm still working on.

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

These might be repeats, there are now too many posts to go through to check.

Repeats are fine, especially with nice pics like those.

Pat really is doing an amazing job with this. Especially extending it to matching up a flaw from the front, which really nails down those two being side by side.

The other thing about multiple scans is that eventually it might be possible to narrow down one group as being done after another group depending on how much of the scratch shows. Less might indicate wear to the plate, or a light resurfacing after wear. (A deep scratch on a stone might survive a light resurfacing, and there's a couple scans I have that I think show the scratches surviving into the 350 series. )
