You've got common 1952s. Give it a shot. Surely you've got a beater duplicate you don't care that much about.
My thoughts too as everything looks to be on top of that card. Obviously, it depends on what type of glue was used, but that looks like it would peel right off if it was water soluble?

My only dupes are creased so I don't think that would be a conclusive test?

I have an extra Don Bollweg I will throw in some water tomorrow for an hour and report back in a couple days after it is completely dry. I know I have seen some 52 Mantles that have the been soaked, bleached, and burnt(another way to whiten) look.

In the 50s they had Elmer's Glue, which likely is water soluble.
