T5 Pinkerton mystery cards

My understanding is that T5 photos were attached to the mounts only by gluing the top of the photo to the mount. You can see where the glue is by the wrinkling of the top of the photo on the Jack Coombs and Rube Oldring T5s posted by HR Baker above.

The checklist of T5's in Mr. Lemke's catalog has the Graney numbered 618 and the Smith 624, same as in the photos posted here without cardboard backing. Have to assume with the numbers correlating, they must at least be a Pinkerton issue.
BTW; does anyone have the George Gibson T5. Just want to see it.

Marty,

Although a Pinkerton T5 Cabinet of George Gibson may exist, I do not remember ever seeing one in all of my years collecting his types.

Thanks for the information Patrick. Disappointing, hopefully one surfaces someday.
