Seems like the entire 1K batch from the original collection is 150-only and 150/350 subjects, which if true not only points to a single source but 1909 acquisition (I am assuming that all of the 150/350 cards in the 1K batch have 150 backs like the Green Cobbs). Interesting that the SLers are Old Mill; that hints at introduction of the Old Mill Southern back in 1909 which is earlier than I thought.

Scot, I posted this ad dated August 14 1909 a few years ago when I found it

Congrats!!! Enjoy seeing "new find" pics like these but would be good to hear how the seller(s) obtained those cards.

Very cool Pat. Thanks for that research. Most of the OMS ads that I have seen are from early 1910.

It would be fun to know if the 14 non-Hindu SLers are part of this find.

That's a special one, probably won't make it past several members here at auction.

Oh man, that Matty dark cap is what dreams are made of. That would look great in my Matty back run.

Congrats on a great find!

I know someone here hellbent on owning that

Interesting that the Chance is altered.... Odd result from a "find", no?

Beat me to it.
Yes, that is a beauty of a card!!

[Stampsfan]

How is the Chance altered? Obviously an original collection, yet someone altered the card? Even if it was altered, one can assume it wasn't done for monetary gain.
