Another T206 Old Mill Blue Back??

I'll reprise what I said earlier. And, add to it.

checking the first printed sheet and stopped the press. And hung up the Blue OLD MILL T206 sheet to dry.

This was most likely only one such sheet (or perhaps two); therefore, I don't expect us to find duplicates of given subjects.

Both Powell and Walsh are from the 150 series. In the future, it wouldn't surprise me if a few more T206's
surface from this series with Blue OLD MILL backs.

Incidentally,
Here's a Lundgren with a Blue OLD MILL back, an obvious reprint (I acquired this one back in the 1990's).

totally possible theory

I hate to beat a dead horse BUT I think it's worth pointing out there is a shared characteristic between that Lundgren, the Walsh, and this Powell card: all three have that large space at the bottom of the card, and from what I can tell, the same space.

One is a known reprint, the other two are believe to be authentic. Again, could all be a total coincidence. That's a lot of coincidences though.

Who owned the first one found and where did this card come from?

Was the first one found in 2015?
