Feller is listed for a variant in the H&S Super set. But before that Dick Gilkeson and Richard Dingman had both included the Feller in their variations compilations from the 80s and 90s. It is sometimes listed a clear or hazy , or with or without slats. There is not doubt the slats in the background are more prominent on some cards and almost completely faded on others. I do not think I have seen a version where every trace of the slats is gone.

Like the red versus orange background Crandall, the difference may be in the eye of the beholder

Thanks for letting us know about these variations and the like, Al. They are very interesting and informative.

If I am not mistaken the Feller card is much harder to find without the slats, or the faded version, than it is with them more visible?
