Personally I wouldn't consider it a slam dunk that it's PD150 ink there
are darker PD350's than the one Ronnie posted. In my opinion if it
is a case of using the wrong ink I personally think there is more evidence
that it would have been during the PD350 printing.

The two multi-strike scraps being one of the things to consider they have
150/350 subjects on the backs with EPDG and Brown Old Mill printed
over top of PD350.

That is pretty cool looking. The card back in question is blue, no doubt. I am in the authentic camp.

Whether it was after a PIEDMONT 150 run or a PIEDMONT 350 run where this alleged printer's mistake regarding the OLD MILL occurred, it's
something we will probably never know. However I think Ron has done sufficient analysis of this Powell card which provides us a high degree
of probability that this card is an authentic T206.

Furthermore, I can imagine that Dave (the original owner of the Walsh blue OLD MILL) feels vindicated with this new find. I have known Dave
since the 1980's (we've done many large-lot T206 deals over the years), and I recall all the flak he had to dodge over that Walsh card.

Who knows where (or when) the next blue OLD MILL T206 will surface ?
Only the "Monster" knows ! ?

This has so far been a great post and I hope it continues. It's true, nobody knows how the card was made. Even with all the proof in front of us, it's so hard to say it's 100% true. I keep forgetting that we are talking about T206's and anything is possible with them. I was 100% sure it was Polar Bear ink but then I put next to a Piedmont 150 and now I'm leaning more in that direction. As far as all the different Piedmont 150 or 350 shades of blue, all it take's is one shade to match for it to be a possibility. Now that would be a funny movie title for this card... 150 or 350 Shades of Blue.

As far as the scrap 150's with 350's on them, what if that's how they used scrap sheets. You print one side, proof it, make you adjustment and print again. But you wouldn't send that same sheet into the press. It would still be wet and make at offset mess of everything. You'd put it in a pile and use another sheet. Maybe the next day or next month you test print on the other side of those scrap sheets. That's how you would do it for the least amount of waste. Maybe they really cracked down on the waste at the job. Another unknown.
